You mister Simon, you are the inspiration! For TILs and Py modules.

I wonder what's drives you to make so many Py modules? Do you see reusing modules for your own projects or do you have some other grand plan?

For me, the single most important thing about Open Source is that it means I can solve a problem once and then /never have to solve that problem ever again/ in the future.

So any code I write I like to open source, because that's the best possible way I know of ensuring I won't have to waste time solving that same problem again.

The other thing that helps is that I think I've found a cure for project guilt.

I used to feel guilty about my projects - each one was Yet Another Thing that I should be spending more time on.

The fix I discovered was to make sure every single one of them has good test coverage and comprehensive documentation.

Effectively I treat each one as something which can stand on its own if I effectively abandon it - the thing works, and is documented, and other people can use it as-is without me feeling guilty that I'm not constantly actively working on improving it.

I wrote more about that here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Nov/26/productivity/

But you can copy all of the contents to tickets, emails, etc. All is not lost.

It looks like bat https://github.com/sharkdp/bat

Yes, I've got this too https://imgur.com/a/ZxClPqQ It's odd that it tells nothing about why?

Awesome game! Works wonderful for Vancouver, BC.

One thing tho - several times I got the same street 2 times in a row.

This is now fixed! (Thanks to a contribution by johrpan)

oh, how does it look?

It's a very well written book! Short and sweet. Not that novel as expected, but a still very good read for a weekend.

Also, you need practice, write 5 ideas a day. Doesn't matter what ideas, things might exist or not exist. After a while, you will have a pile of garbage with some really good jewels between them.

PS. It was mentioned in the book, I don't recall which one.

James Altucher's "Choose Yourself" mentions 10 a day, but I don't think it was original.

I'm pretty sure GCE does the same, just last week I had a need to test something and with 1vCPU instance was ready in about 3-4 mins. Next time will check logs to confirm it. But seems the reasanoble thing to do.

Looks cool!

Can this be used for phone number verification? If so how this would work? The user would get a text with a link? Or shortcode?

Yes! The user would get a text with a link.
