When to automate a repetitive task:

NO-BRAINER: "This is obviously going to be faster to automate than to do it by hand _even once_. Let's automate it right now, and not do it by hand at all."

FORESIGHTED: "Doing it once by hand is faster than automating it, but I'm going to have to do it a lot of times, so it still saves time to automate it first."

NEED A RUN-UP: "I don't yet understand this task well enough to automate it, so I'll do it a few times by hand first to get the idea."

RAN OFF THE RUNWAY: "Great, now I've done this by hand a few times, I think I can automate it reliably! Oh, oops, turned out I only had one more case of it left to do."

TERRIFIED OF RUNNING OFF THE RUNWAY: "This is a one-off, so it would be a waste of time to automate it, I'll just do it manually."
[next day] "Oh, oops, I made a mistake and have to do it again. But it should be fine this time."
[a month later] "Even though I've had to redo it 25 times already, surely _this_ is the last time? So it would still be a waste of time to automate it."

So, in the #PHP ecosystem, people can build a package like roave/security-advisories, which has a huge list of "conflict" dependencies.

These don't say "install this as a dependency", but instead "I'm incompatible with that dependency in that version". And the versions listed there are those with known security vulnerabilities, effectively preventing you from installing them, which is good.

Is there something similar in the #Python ecosystem? Is it even possible?

I need to always keep this in mind while interacting with people.

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

I enjoyed this article about personal project programming, but I particularly liked this definition:

"Production code has a phone number to call when it breaks"

my dear friend @jed recently relaunched his blog with some poignant thoughts on the state of so-called "DevSecOps".

he believes (and I agree) that the SecOps part of this needs to have an SRE moment, in other words that security operations is not enough -- we should consider security from an engineering perspective rather than an operational one.
