New features get added and these posts are a nice reminder to check the docs on a tool I literally never need to do that for because it's so habitual to wrap any long-running iterable inside of a `tqdm()`.

TIL tqdm now has a dead simple telegram hook https://tqdm.github.io/docs/contrib.telegram/

Yeah, I've been using it for a while, but with the barrage of memes and politics on the internet nobody finds out about the good stuff until years later.

tqdm is indeed 8 years old, but it's been popping up everywhere for only a couple of years now. Hence the "gaining traction".
