Down in the comments @adamwathan [2] goes on to say.
Basically every layout overflow bug ever boils down to some flex or grid child needing min-width: 0 😄
Oh and @ryanflorence [3] also says in the comments.
I … do this.

Nice message by @tusharsadhwani [2].
Write it down.
You had to dig deeper than face value at something.
Write it down.
You had to combine multiple pages of docs.
Write it down.
Someting was simply not obvious to you at first and it took someone else to give you that ah ha moment.
Write it down.
You had a small discovery that had a marginal impact on your day.
Write it down.
A blog does not have to be a Blog, it can be small meaningful posts. There are absolutely no rules. If you think you are going to end up with too many posts, that is a solvable problem, make a search, curate your favorite posts, make multiple feeds.
At the end of the day.
Write it down.
This post itself is a thought, the smallest component to my blogging strategy.
Write it down.

Path Operation Advanced Configuration - FastAPI
FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
fastapi.tiangolo.com [1]
Excluding routes from fastapi docs, can be done from the route configuration using `include_in_schema`. This is handy for routes that are not really api based or duplicates.
From the Docs # [2]
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/items/", include_in_schema=False)
async def read_items():
return [{"item_id": "Foo"}]
trailing slash # [3]
I’ve had better luck just routing both naked and trailing slash routes in fastapi [4]. I’ve had api’s deployed as a subroute to a site rather than a subdomain, and the automatic redirect betweens them tended to always get messed up. This is pretty easy fix for the pain is causes just give vim a yyp, and if you don’t want deuplicates in your docs, ignore one.
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
@app.get("/items")
@app.get("/items/", include_in_schema=False)
async def read_items():
return [{"item_id": "Foo"}]

Now you do not need to deploy favicons to your api in any way, it is nice to have it in your browser tab, but more importantly ...
Protect API docs behind authentication? · Issue #364 · fastapi/fastapi

GitHub · github.com [1]
You can protect your fastapi [2] docs behind auth so that not only can certain roles not run certain routes, but they cannot even see the docs at all. This way no one that shouldn’t be poking around can even discover routes they shouldn’t be using.

Cancel subscriptions
Cancel subscriptions immediately or at the end of the subscription period with proration options, invoice handling, and automatic cancellation after failed payment attempts.
stripe.com [1]
This is a handy guide to cancelling stripe subscriptions.
# Set your secret key. Remember to switch to your live secret key in production.
# See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_51ODvHtB26msLKqCAPBAo1qkBBuIfT5tQBX6YFWCLMsPixIExxITCRVa9tNCIqkdQS8olhR79NYXsFWBPKsM3LbGO00zEcNQfNI"
stripe.Subscription.modify(
"sub_49ty4767H20z6a",
cancel_at_period_end=True,
)
You can even inverse it by flipping True to False and re activate the subscription.

You can find your customers next billing date through the stripe api by using Invoice. and passing in customer, customer_details, subscription, or schedule.
import stripe
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_51ODvHtB26msLKqCAPBAo1qkBBuIfT5tQBX6YFWCLMsPixIExxITCRVa9tNCIqkdQS8olhR79NYXsFWBPKsM3LbGO00zEcNQfNI"
invoice = stripe.Invoice.upcoming(customer="cus_NeZwdNtLEOXuvB")
Within the invoice, you can find the next_payment_attempt as a epoch.
date = datetime.fromtimestamp(invoice.next_payment_attempt)
amount = invoice.amount_due
currency = invoice.currency

Search
Use the search APIs to look up and retrieve objects in your Stripe data. Using search is a faster alternative to paginating through all resources.
stripe.com [1]
Stripe has it’s own query language for querying data. I’m just getting into using it and it seems pretty good so far. I needed to lookup the price for products. I was able to find prices for my product using the python api as shown below.
stripe.Price.search(query="active: 'true' and product: 'prod_P8SfwtxJ45cWE2'")

Dang this is such a good message. I can’t exactly relate to being forced into the overworking situation that PirateSofware is talking about. I can relate to being conditioned to feeling a certain way and changing that is very difficult. I can also relate to not feeling like I am getting enough done in the day. Sometimes a bit of separation is good.

page-break-after CSS property - CSS | MDN
The page-break-after CSS property adjusts page breaks after the current element.
MDN Web Docs · developer.mozilla.org [1]
I’m working on something that might go to print, so I want the page breaks to happen somewhat in my control as the content author. As I do my writing I break my content up in to many short sections using h2, sometimes an h3. These are generally short sections that go together, should stay together, and typically are not too lengthy to cause a large white space in print.
I found a way in css to only allow page breaks to happen on h2 and h3, and it turned out perfect, suck it WSIWIG editors
* {
page-break-before: avoid;
}
h2,
h3 {
page-break-before: auto;
}

How to Build a Website or App - Syntax #696
This podcast episode covers a wide range of topics related to building a website or web application from start to finish.
syntax.fm [1]
Great tips in this one. They discuss everything from front end to backend, databases and ORMS, here are a few of my favorite points.
- Use good data or good fake data
- make it have some variation like long and short text
- Don’t use a database if you need one, static content is eaiser to manage
- end to end test, (does the site load page x)
- You DONT NEED all this complexity, you can deploy a site with HTML [2] and CSS.

Nice take by @t3dotgg [1]. Some of the old patterns that go deep into webdev, MVC, separation of concerns, REST, are things we are told to believe on day one, thrown so many things, no mental bandwidth, or experience to form our own opinions we must take them as fact. Rarely do we take these facts and revisit them with our new understandings years later.
