I've Been working on a little side project the last couple weeks. If you've ever used HAPI in the Java world, you know how nice that type safety is. Moving to Python and losing that structure can be incredibly frustrating.

hl7types brings that HAPI-esqe type safety goodness straight to Python. Check out the repo and the docs here - https://github.com/KeironO/hl7types https://hl7types.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

"Utopian Scholastic is a visual style widespread in the late 1990s and early-2000s which features stock image collages in often abstract, education-leaning compositions."
"This reliance on this style of collage is predicated on two factors: the proliferation of stock photography collections, and the development of desktop publishing & graphics-editing software in the 1980s."

As my wife ate her porridge this morning she asked "what exactly are oats?" and it turned out to be an interesting question because of Vavilonian mimicry.

i think the best way to use LLMs is this: don't type into the AI chatbot's input field. instead, write a description of the problem in a text file. work through the specifics of what you want to accomplish, and how you'd go about doing it. once you've got a few hundred words of ideas and planning, you can go back to the empty, unused AI tab and close it. then begin doing the work yourself. consider sending your notes to friends or experts. when you're done, remember to thank them for their help!

Sometimes I think about how to easiest way to fail an interview for a leadership position is to say you will do end user research as step one of any plan.

I wonder about the people Mozilla didn’t hire.
