,My New Year’s resolution? 3840 × 2160 --nixCraft
It's the first week of 2025 and the last week of my holiday break. I've mostly been lounging around, alternating between eating, sleeping, and building Lego sets. I tried getting back into django-cast by pushing out a small release (0.2.41), but quickly hit a roadblock. After using uv these past few months, I'd completely forgotten how to handle non uv virtualenvs and package building with flit. So first I had to switch everything from flit to uv. Once I finished that bit of yak shaving, I discovered some forgotten mypy issues lurking in the code. To top it off, I remembered I'd worked on some transcript features a few weeks back but never finished writing the tests.
I took a deep breath and hit the release button anyway, despite the test coverage not being at 100%. My OCD might keep me tossing and turning tonight, but hey - we've got a new release! I'd actually put the transcript feature on the back burner when groq started throwing internal server errors. No point polishing a feature when I couldn't even generate new transcripts. The good news is that groq support has sorted out the issue, so expect a flood of new podcast transcripts soon!
