summary

A rapid sequence of practical demos and claims: an inverted UI argument that 99% of apps force naming before intent and a proposed incremental UI pattern; a drone prototype built on a Raspberry Pi using an IMU, complementary filter and PID control, reading RC via PWM at ~50 Hz with edge detection and Python threading and output via an Adafruit PWM HAT; a Python3 script on GitHub that generates iCal loadshedding calendars with no dependencies; and a meetup pitch for non‑developers learning Python.
