Scriv on Test & Code

Thursday 25 May 2023

Brian Okken and I recorded a podcast some time ago (September 2022) about my scriv project and other adjacent topics: Avoid merge conflicts on your CHANGELOG with “scriv”.

We talked about:

  • How scriv works
  • The importance of keeping information in git (not just GitHub)
  • The difference between commits and a changelog
  • The value of hand-written changelogs
  • Other projects of mine: dinghy, cog, coverage
  • Boston Python
  • Versioning schemes: semver, calver, randver(!?)

Because this was recorded in September, a few things are slightly out of date. I mention that Python 3.11 is coming out in October, but that meant last October, not this year’s. When Brian asks me what else is going on, I don’t mention the PyCon 2023 keynote, because I hadn’t even gotten the invitation back then.

It’s always a good time chatting with Brian. Give it a listen.
