Here’s a seemingly simple question: given a chunk of multi-line text, how do you split it and return an array whose members are the constituent lines of the text?

Everybody seems to agree we’re in the middle of something, though what, exactly, seems to be up for debate.

Way back in 2005, lots of people (ordinary people, not just people who work in tech) used to have personal blogs where they wrote about things, rather than using third-party short-form social media sites.

A few years ago at work, I had a project which offered an opportunity to look at the new generation of async-first, type-hint-driven Python web frameworks.

Version numbering is hard, and there are lots of popular schemes out there for how to do it.

’Tis the season when people are posting their “Django wishlists”, for specific technical or organizational or community initiatives they’d like to see undertaken.

There’s a concept that I’ve heard called by a lot of different names, but my favorite name for it is “the Highlander problem”, which refers to the catchphrase of the campy-yet-still-quite-fun Highlander movie/TV franchise.
