The article discusses several developments in Python-related projects, notably the introduction of the content-types package, which maps file extensions to MIME types without accessing file content, addressing gaps in the default mimetypes library. Additionally, the release of version 6.4 of a package with django-tasks is highlighted for its readiness in production use despite being in active development. Lastly, a perspective is presented that challenges the norm of favoring code reuse, suggesting that solving smaller problems independently may now be easier due to advancements in AI.
Even though django-tasks says it's 'under active development', as long as you pin the version and test your behavior depending on this, it must be ready to use.
I had to create my own...content-types. A Python library to map file extensions to MIME types, unlike other libraries, does not access the file or parse bytes.
Maybe the advice of always prefer code reuse isn't that great after all? It's much easier to solve small little problems these days due to AI.
We should give kudos to engineers who write their own solutions instead of relying on many dependencies.
