Users Only Care About 20% of Your Application

Modern apps burst with features most people never touch. Users stick to their favorite 20%. The rest? Frustration, bloat, ignored edge cases. Tools like **VS Code**, **Slack**, and **Notion** nail it by staying lean at the core and letting users stack what they need. Extensions, plug-ins, integrati..

Organize your Slack channels by “How Often”, not “What” - Aggressively Paraphrasing Me

One dev rewired their Slack setup by **engagement frequency**—not subject. Channels got sorted into tiers like “Read Now” and “Read Hourly,” cutting through noise and saving brainpower. It riffs off the **Eisenhower Matrix**, letting priorities shift with projects, not burn people out...

Uncommon Uses of Common Python Standard Library Functions

A fresh guide gives old Python friends a second look—turns out, tools like **itertools.groupby**, **zip**, **bisect**, and **heapq** aren’t just standard; they’re slick solutions to real problems.

Jupyter Agents: training LLMs to reason with notebooks

Hugging Face dropped an open pipeline and dataset for training small models—think **Qwen3-4B**—into sharp **Jupyter-native data science agents**. They pulled curated Kaggle notebooks, whipped up synthetic QA pairs, added lightweight **scaffolding**, and went full fine-tune. Net result? A **36% jump ..

Did you know you can clap for someone’s content up to 50 times on Medium?

Well, you can.

And to protect you from carpal tunnel syndrome, I packaged that behavior into a little extension for Chrome.

It works like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN3soEz-5Z4

Open up your developer tools (right-click & choose inspect)

Then, navigate to the “console”:

And if you have a bunch of caca (that’s Spanish for đŸ’©) in your Console you can click the little đŸš« icon to clear it:

Then:

copy the JavaScript code below
paste it into the Console area
press the Return key

and spread the clap!

(Scroll up to the top of this article before you press enter if you want to see it in action)

let clapButton = document.querySelector('button[data-testid="headerClapButton"]');
if (clapButton) {
const events = ['mousedown', 'mouseup', 'click'];

async function performClap() {
for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
events.forEach(eventType => {
let event = new MouseEvent(eventType, {
'view': window,
'bubbles': true,
'cancelable': true
});
clapButton.dispatchEvent(event);
});
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10)); // Introducing a 10ms delay between claps
}
console.log("+50 Claps! Now, go join the SERP community!");
}

performClap();
} else {
console.log("Clap button not found!");
}

Want the extension?

I submitted the extension to the Chrome app store and it’s pending approval as of this writing


But if you’re too excited to sit around when you could be clappin’ it up — you’re welcome to grab the bootleg here:
