TIL (well, yesterday I learned) about creating a PaymentIntent in Stripe, and some best practices from the docs about working with them: https://github.com/williln/til/blob/main/stripe/payment_intents.md

Yesterday I kept learning... later I learned about on-session vs. off-session payments in Stripe: https://github.com/williln/til/blob/main/stripe/off_session_payments.md

I’m talking about me! 👋

I’m writing TILs and ready for a next step. I tried a micro blog but it didn’t “fit.” I do have a website with a blog, but I’m looking for something between a TIL and an actual post on my blog. Thoughts?

The longer version is… I haven’t really been “writing” or “speaking” in like… five years. And I’m ready to start again, but I need to exercise the muscle a little.

Just in writing this post I’ve been turning some wheels and thinking of some things. Those rubber 🦆🦆🦆 sure are helpful…

@taylor_atx I’ve had a similar thought, too. Maybe another TIL-like repo, but more freeform?

@treyhunner @ryancheley @CodenameTim That’s a great idea! I’d be game to try out a writing group!

> The night finished with a bear hug from Carol Willing (CPython Core Developer, Python Steering Committee) who told me I am awesome. :)

@kati's recap of @pycon is the most thorough recap I have ever read, and also manages to hit right in the feels! And Kati IS awesome. And those bear hugs are ALSO awesome.

See you next year for sure PyCon ❤️️

TIL how to write a little script to generate a table of contents for all the files inside a directory, and I nearly succeeded in adding it to a GitHub Action https://github.com/williln/til/blob/main/python/generate_toc_for_subdirectory.md

It's like today's @djangonews articles were selected for me personally.

Every single link in the Articles section relates to something I've been thinking about or run into or recently dealt with. My tabs are nuts.

It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright sunshiney day! ☀️

The lesson here is that I should actually read the newsletters I subscribe to. Past Lacey subscribed for a reason!

I wondered if ChatGPT would be helpful in coming up with recipes for multiple allergens.

I asked it, "Give me a fajita marinade that works for chicken or beef that accommodates a bell pepper allergy, a garlic allergy, is dairy and gluten free, and is soy and legume free."

And its response included both paprika AND chipotle peppers, both of which would trigger a bell pepper allergy.

Just noting so that we all remember to not take AI responses at face value. I have found ChatGPT very useful in some contexts, but it has real limitations, is not an expert, is not discerning, and has trouble discerning between multiple competing priorities, like in this simple (yet complex!) scenario.

FYI: I'll be doing something like lime/onion/coconut amino/cilantro/cumin/oregano. This is a real-life person I am cooking for who I would very much like to not harm.

TIL about TimelineJS. I haven't used it, but I wanted to document that I learned about it. https://github.com/williln/til/blob/main/javascript/timelinejs.md

Most people would probably star the repo or something? I do star repos, but then it's like a void that I never consult again. So I'm going to try TIL-ing the repos that catch my attention, even if I don't use them.

Hello, very first TIL in the brand-new Javascript directory!

Slack kept kicking me out of huddles while I was speaking because my computer screen would go into screensaver mode too quickly. Annoying! Found the setting that controls this in Slack:
