What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

I finally compiled and expanded on all my various blog posts, tutorials and other Python goodness into a book: Working with Python. It is available as a free pdf download at: https://mkaz.blog/working-with-python/

It's grown over a dozen or so years and when I finally decide to compile into a book, everyone now uses AI and no longer read and learn from books but instead through LLMs.

Fantastic. I wish I'd started on writing something like this years ago (although I'd wanted to teach explicitly rather than having a collection of how-tos).

This is part of what discourages me from starting now, sadly. That, and having more concepts for actual Python projects than I know what to do with.
