Oh cool, love seeing more Rust in Python these days. I recorded two Python related podcasts, coaching devs so more reviewing, working on more @pybites.bsky.social dev cohorts, including Rust

Structure + high accountability help:

> "This project has been different. In less time, I’ve completed more of an project than ever before. The constraint of 6 weeks has pushed me to keep going, and the regular check-ins with Bob and the cohort have kept my motivation high. 🚀"

Thanks for joining us 🎧 @tiangolo.com 🎉 and for all you do with @fastapi.tiangolo.com, other libs, and now FastAPI Cloud 😍

It will be so nice to deploy FastAPI apps with just: `fastapi deploy` 🚀

snakeviz == nice for profiling + visualizing 💡 💪 🐍

uv run python -m cProfile -o profile.out -m script_or_package
uv add --dev snakeviz
uv run snakeviz profile.out

Our @pybites.bsky.social coaching cohorts are going to be fun + transformative. With clear structure + coach guidance, but also learning from each other.💡

🚀 Built a #Streamlit front-end on top of a #FastAPI backend for our next cohort (starting next week!) 🚀

Great stack for quickly prototyping a front-end, all #Python, no JS 😎

(For more serious web apps you definitely want JS and/or htmlx though 💡)

7 adjacent skills that made me a better #developer (early on):

💻 Vim + CLI
🛠 Support/troubleshooting
🚢 Building complete apps
✍️ Writing/blogging
✅ Automating tasks
🔁 Git
🤝 Mentoring/teaching

Code is just the start. These built the real foundation.
