A REST framework for FastAPI and SQLAlchemy, creatively called "fastapi-alchemy". A bit on the ambitious side, but I had the opportunity to open-source work I did for an employer. It is running in production, but it needs extensiv

A little late to the discussion, but what I missed in the comments was to properly try to reestablish the relation with your co-founder at least once more. It sounds like it will take a lot more than a meeting. The two of you should go on a

One of the biggest impacts on my life recently was adding an automation for my smart lights (Philips Hue) in the living room. The lights start dimming over a span of 2 hours until they are their minimum at 22:00. The result is that it just
