Michael #1: uv under discussion on Mastodon

It’s interesting that uv is slightly controversial
Russell:
As enthusiastic as I am about the direction uv is going, I haven't adopted them anywhere - because I want very much to understand Astral’s intended business model before I hook my wagon to their tools.
Hynek:
As much as I hate VC, [...] FOSS projects flame out all the time too. … To me uv looks like a genius sting to trick VCs into paying to fix packaging. We’ll be better off either way.
Glyph:
Rust is more expensive and difficult to maintain, not to mention "non-native" to the average customer here. … it can burn out all the other projects in the ecosystem simultaneously, creating a risk of monoculture
Hynek on Rust:
I don’t think y’all quite grok what uv makes so special due to your seniority. The speed is really cool, but the reason Rust is elemental is that it’s one compiled blob that can be used to bootstrap and maintain a Python development.
Christopher Neugebauer:
Just dropping in here to say that corporate capture of the Python ecosystem is the #1 keeps-me-up-at-night subject in my community work, so I watch Astral with interest, even if I'm not yet too worried.
Armin Ronacher
What uv is doing, even in the worst possible future this is a very forkable and maintainable thing.

Brian #2: erdantic: Entity Relationship Diagrams

“erdantic is a simple tool for drawing entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) for Python data model classes. Diagrams are rendered using the venerable Graphviz library.”
Supported data modeling frameworks are:
- Pydantic V2
- Pydantic V1 legacy
- attrs
- dataclasses

Michael #3: Extra, Extra, Extra

Added Python Bytes Search as a custom search engine.
Along came passkeys. A cool idea that quickly turned evil.
Follow up from post and my conversation last week: vaultwarden (via Pablo)
