ps256··on DL, NoSQL, VR and Crypto all came about 2009-2012
Parks and Recreation, The Vampire Diaries and Modern Family all started in 2009. I blame it on Obama because he was President at the time.

ps256··on On Learning to Program with LLMs
There's nothing stopping LLMs from being good at low-level stuff.
ps256··on Tell HN: Flask and Quart have now partially merged
Is there are any reason to pick Flask over FastAPI for a new project in 2023?
