Plus git exercises, typing faster, drawing diagrams in VS Code, and a new HTTP toolkit for security research
✍️ There is so much amazing stuff coming out that's of value to software developers, engineers, and ops folks lately that this is a beefy issue! Starting to think a tighter daily would make more sense, but.. can anyone extend my day to 28 hours, please? 😂 |
StatusCode Weekly Covering what's happening in software development, ops, platforms and tools. | Python 3.9 Released: What's New — Unlike its sister languages like Perl and Ruby, Python has, in spite of a slightly rocky 2.x to 3.x transition, found a way to stay relevant and continue to grow at a rapid pace. 3.9 is an evolutionary rather than revolutionary release and packed with good tidbits.

The idea is you point App Platform to a repo and they deploy it on their hardware. Supports Python, Node, Go, PHP, Ruby, and static sites out of the box, but Docker can also be used. Seems a wise move for DO as many developers continue to move away from wanting 'boxes' to more 'managed' deployments. DigitalOcean |
