I just want to use this space to say that I hate the fake AI-generated ripped tai-chi guy from the Youtube ads SO MUCH.
I am glad I am not the only one. Why do I see it like 50 times a day?

Why can Instagram scale on Python and Django but you can't?
Perhaps because Instagram uses their own Python and a heavily custom Django fork?

I like to use Pico CSS as a starting point for websites (as opposed to apps). I even put it in the my Django starter kit (https://github.com/stribny/sidewinder/). Recommended!

These two tweaks should improve it (by preventing the largest text and book graphic from overflowing the viewport horizontally on some smaller screen sizes):

cool! Even though it’s getting easier to use AI to generate commands these days—I often ask AI to help me write commands myself—I still think it’s important to understand and systematically learn the command line. I’ll definitely recommend this book to my friends. One suggestion: maybe you could include some practical examples from real work scenarios in the book to make it even more approachable and engaging.
I don't want to just add to it because the entire idea is to have a short book, but I will be thinking about replacing/improving some sections. The examples already demonstrate the practical scenarios, but I think there could be a few sentences about how a particular concept can be used in real world scenario.
Thanks for sharing:)

if you add a cover page with http link, an example download read at a later time will find its way back more easily. Looks good!
Thanks for the suggestions:)

Wow. This is amazing. I really like the way you use color and do footnote-like explanations.
Thank you!

A note on English: "Fresh off the press" is the colloquialism you're looking for, not "Fresh out of press."
Thanks!

Amazon does print on demand. I have a book published there that I sell at cost and it’s about $8 shipped. Print quality is pretty good.
If you make changes, you just upload a new template and you’re all set.
Thanks for the tip. I will explore it.

For what it’s worth I would have purchased if this was available in physical form (I’m weighing purchasing anyway, but my personal hunch is I’d pay $20-30 for physical copy and probably $10-20 for pdf).
Amazon makes it quite easy to publish books that get printed on demand, and they accept pdf files as inputs.
Thanks for the input. I have made several updates to the book in the past and this would be lost in print, but as the book matures and I incorporate feedback it can be interesting to try offering a print version. Perhaps print-on-demand type of thing.
