Appreciating Nick Pope's review comments on django/django again this morning.

Folk wanting to level up their Python chops would learn something from reading/studying these reviews.

@adamchainz@fosstodon.org so many! From just this morning: https://github.com/django/django/pull/20543#discussion_r2697815979 First time I've written a chained exception here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/20516#discussion_r2675882642 I particularly enjoyed the suggestions on template partials: https://github.com/django/django/pull/19643#pullrequestreview-3076590594 All of the comments on the switch to the template based form renderer, but in particular the API design here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/14819#pullrequestreview-744111115

Dear laptop manufacturers.

I like my right CTRL key. I use it. Lots.

While I like AI (in particular claude) please stop replacing it with a copilot button that I can't map back to it's previous purpose.

Thanks

I look around and see my half completed projects in every direction. Must get better at finishing some things!

I find myself these days commenting on PRs as if I'm talking to Claude (AI) rather than a person.

Maybe it's because the PRs have a strong AI feeling to them. 🤔

Need to be conscious not to loose compasion, warmth and community vibes.

Doing my Accounting CPD.

The talks I've been too have been largely AI focused, and these were not advertised as AI specific talks.

Took me somewhat by surprise how AI has become involved with to so many topics.
