uv just added "uvx [-p x.y] python", which means I can get rid of my clunky: py() { if [ -n "${VIRTUAL_ENV:-}" ]; then python "$@" else "$(preferred_python_version)" "$@" fi } And replace it with just "alias py=uvx python"

Just migrated a project from hatch to uv. Took a few minutes. In two weeks, I'll write something like "One year of uv: should you use it?" listing all the good and bad things about it in the various tests I made with my clients over the years.

Designers having fun again 😍

Interesting concept. I just met it randomly and though it was a standard internet troll, and had to read the name to realize it was an AI. But most people in the thread didn't, which means it's not harmless, unfortunately, especially given its take.

Yep. Was. Still is. Licence change was a weird moment, but antirez is back on the team so...

Tiny TIL: I just figured out how to run pytest with a different Python version against my pyproject.toml/setup.py projects using uv run uv run --python 3.12 --with '.[test]' pytest til.simonwillison.net/pytest/pytest-…

Started to write the article on "One year with uv" tonight. It was getting a bit long, so I searched "Is 4000 words a lot" and found a /r/writing post asking if 4000 words is a reasonable goal... for a week. Woops.

"Claude is so superior to ChatGPT". Also, Claude:

Good designers can do more than UI. Then can make the doc beautiful, the website nice, and even assist the marketing team. Don't make them redo the UI 10 times, it's terrible for the user. I have when Ubuntu is changing UI stuff once again, but sleep is still unsolved.
