#Python trick: 0 is falsy, 1 is truthy.
Use this for even/odd checks:
if n % 2:
print('Odd!') # remainder is 1 (truthy)
else:
print('Even!') # remainder is 0 (falsy)
No need for "if n % 2 == 0" — just use the truthiness!

Python Tip: match/case (Structural Pattern Matching)
match command.split():
case ['go', direction]:
move(direction)
case ['pick', 'up', item]:
grab(item)
case _:
print('Unknown command')
Python 3.10 match/case goes beyond switch statements. It destructures and binds variables.

Python Tip: subprocess.run()
import subprocess
result = subprocess.run(
['git', 'status', '--short'],
capture_output=True, text=True, check=True
)
print(result.stdout)
subprocess.run() is the modern way to call external commands. capture_output + text=True gives...

@tomekw I'm more productive in #Rust than in #Python. The consistent nature of the standard library makes conversion of thoughts into code easier and less prone to stupid flops, that Python then throws at you during run time.
I didn't program in #Ada, I read about it, run some example and talked to some people using it. The opinion circulating about it is that it can be tedious to write large Ada applications or even systems.

Tired of missing GitHub PR reviews? I built github-monitor -- a lightweight Linux daemon that watches for PRs assigned to you and sends desktop notifications the moment they land.
Features:
- Desktop notifications with author avatars via notify-send
- System tray indicator with live PR count and clickable PR list
- Runs quietly as a systemd user service -- set it and forget it
- Config reload on SIGHUP, graceful shutdown on SIGTERM
Under the hood:
- Pure async Python (asyncio) -- no threads, no blocking I/O
- aiohttp for GitHub API, dbus-next for session bus IPC
- Daemon exposes live state over D-Bus, indicator connects as a separate process
- Frozen dataclasses, strict mypy, full test coverage
Built with Python 3.13+, packaged with hatchling, managed with uv.
It's open source and I'd love feedback -- whether it's bug reports, feature ideas, or contributions!
