Dinge, die mich davon abhalten, noch produktiver in meiner Arbeit zu sein:

- HTTP Error 503 einer gewissen API (mal wieder...)
- marodes Streckennetz der #Bahn
- dieser eine Spezialfall in #pandas, den ich schon wieder vergessen habe
- unbefugte Personen im Gleis
- #PyCharm "updating skeletons"/ "indexing"
- "Dieser Zug fährt heute nur bis Ahrensburg. Grund dafür sind Maßnahmen zur Stabilisierung des Betriebsablaufs."
- Windows macht ein Update

What’s New in PyCharm 2026.1 | The PyCharm Blog

Welcome to PyCharm 2026.1. This release doesn’t just add features – it rethinks how you build, debug, and scale Python projects. From a brand-new debugging engine powered by debugpy to first-class uv support on remote targets and expanded JavaScript support in the free tier, this version is all about removing friction and letting you focus on your code. Whether you’re working locally, over SSH, or inside Docker, PyCharm now adapts to your setup instead of the other way around.

Maybe I'm weird but eeeeeehhh.

I've been quite happy with #VSCode for #Python development.

Buuuuut I might as well give #PyCharm a whirl.

Let's see what's what.

"We hope this acquisition amplifies that work, not diminishes it."

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of OpenAI's acquisition of Astral in Jetbrains ' blog entry.

Personally, I am deeply disappointed by this acquisition. I find it hard to see this benefiting the Python community that has come to love uv, ruff and ty.
