Starting from https://genart.social/@hamoid/115125620138280715, I learned how to make some generative art, and wrote up what I learned:

Attached: 1 image I love how these lines separate and reunite. And the fact that I can express this idea in 3 or 4 lines of code. For me they're lives represented by closed paths that end where they started, spending part of the journey together, separating while we go in different directions and maybe reconnecting again in the future. #CreativeCoding #algorithmicart #proceduralArt #OPENRNDR #Kotlin

Have you ever wanted to browse art from the Metropolitan Museum in a first-person shooter interface? You are in luck because DOOM: The Gallery Experience exists. (Instead of a gun, the protagonist carries a glass of red wine.) https://kottke.org/25/01/doom-the-gallery-experience

I'm a retired high-tech exec and a hobbyist software developer.
I've recently started using Cursor AI https://www.cursor.com/, and it is blowing my mind. My first project using cursor was for doing Stock analysis. I used the Polygon.io api and the code was created with prompts. Creating graphs in matplotlib and plotly was effortless. Cursor saved me hours. The code was not without errors - but they were small and easy to fix. A great productivity booster.
Cursor - The AI Code Editor

Built to make you extraordinarily productive, Cursor is the best way to code with AI.

80 character column limits in code are a legacy from 80 column text displays which are a legacy of IBM's 80 column punch cards which are a legacy of Roman chariots which had two side-by-side 40 column horses

@ElliotG - Keep issues about the library itself, have a separate place for questions with using the library.
- Lock old closed issues/PRs (not the same as a stale bot). This prevents resurrecting old threads. If an issue is still happening, opening an new issue with current details is more helpful.
- Close feature requests if you're not sure what to do, and no one's actively helping. Have a separate place for ideas to gain support.

@ElliotG Have resources to allow the community to help you and grow. This is something I'm actively working on still for Pallets. Have clear instructions for contributors. Not only writing code, but writing docs, triaging issues, finding duplicates, or answering questions. Have clear instructions for maintainers, such as processes and policies they should know about. All the stuff you've figured out, that's in your head, should be in a doc so others don't need to go through the same trials.

I am a member of the #Kivy community. We are looking at clearing up our issues backlog and other user support improvements.

I'm impressed to see #Flask has zero open issues, and seems to clear issues with amazing speed.

Do you have any advice or methods to share in managing the issues and users? #python #opensouce
