WOOT WOOT WOOT! I am sooooo excited to see that @cinnamon_msft and the Terminal team have landed a goal that we've wanted to deliver since Terminal was still a dream. Another step forward in Windows becoming the default Terminal on Windows :) Great work!

An alternative to saving your secret information to the environment variable is to save it to .env file. The easiest way to load the environment variables from .env file is to use python-dotenv library. Find how to use python-dotenv in the code below. bit.ly/2Zziahk

I'm writing a new book, "#Pandas Workout" (for @ManningBooks), to help improve your fluency with this amazing #Python package. So: What are your biggest pain points with Pandas? What don't you understand? The more feedback I get, the better the book can be.

I decided that retirement was boring and have joined the Developer Division at Microsoft. To do what? Too many options to say! But it’ll make using Python better for sure (and not just on Windows :-). There’s lots of open source here. Watch this space.

Can confirm my eyes did not deceive me, official ARM support for VS code, VLS works a charm and now can finally use my pinebook pro for portable development, just need to settle on a distro, I love elementary but battery life at the moment is a big must for me
