Just the other day I was trying to remember "this weird micropayment site I used to donate to What.CD" and could not describe it coherently to a friend. It's kinda cool it was around this long

Don't kill my app 3 years ago
Most apps on my phone were strong armed on me by trend-following (or outright data grabbing) businesses. 99% of them could've been just a website - but no, I can't reschedule my doctor appointment via website, because "our app is so much better and has so much more features!"
So fuck yeah, kill them all! And if they dare to start on their own, kill them more!
Makefile Tricks for Python Projects 3 years ago
Similar in spirit, I made a reusable Makefile for my Python projects: https://github.com/sio/Makefile.venv
It's a shame that Python venv workflow is so opaque and unfriendly to new users that it requires extra automation tools.
Makefile.venv takes care of creating, updating and invoking Python virtual environment that you can use in your Makefiles. It will allow you to reduce venv related routines to almost zero!
