I just released Blender Asset Tracer v1.22, which is going to be the last release in the 1.x range.
It just has a single bugfix compared to 1.21, no new features.

Decided to rewrite the backend of my Embeddings playground ... in Rust. I work in Python all the time at my job, and I'm getting a bit bored with it. So, in my side projects, I want to explore other languages and technologies.

Poco estamos hablando en Castellano del drama que va a suponer que #OpenAI adquiera #Astral para el ecosistema de #Python al igual que ya hizo Anthropic con Bun en el ecosistema de Node.js esto comienza a pintar como una amenaza monopolรญstica de dimensiones รฉpicas
๐ Thanks to our Platinum Sponsor Tower!
Tower helps builders of AI and SaaS products embed a Python-native analytics engine and reach production faster.
Great to have them supporting the PyCon DE & PyData community.

Today's fun task in #Python will be removing uv and ruff from personal projects. As a "move slow and fix things" kind of cheese bag, who โfor some reason โ always had my 6th sense telling me there was something slightly fishy about the way Astral operated, I haven't let them in too many places. So there will be plenty of time for writing good code with my own hands as well.
