To wire up loose Python microservices, use NATS JetStream as the message bus with the nats-py client. JetStream gives you durable consumers, full stream replay, and exactly-once delivery through message dedup and double-ack. It does this in sub-millisecond time, with one small server binary. No Kafka brokers, no ZooKeeper.
This guide covers JetStream setup, pub/sub with durable consumers, a three-service order pipeline, and the steps to harden it for production.
Siddhartha Ahuja’s Blender MCP is the open-source project that puts Claude at the Blender keyboard. A Model Context Protocol server talks to a Blender add-on over a TCP socket on port 9876. From there, Claude can build shapes, paint materials, read the scene, pull free assets from Poly Haven , make meshes through Hyper3D Rodin , import Sketchfab models, and run any Python inside Blender. The repo has 19,694 stars, an MIT license, and sits at version 1.5.5. Similar add-ons exist for Unreal, Godot, Maya, and Figma. This one has the biggest crowd and the deepest tool list by far.
The Claude Agent SDK is the Claude Code engine stripped down to a library. Same agent loop, same built-in tools, same context handling, but you call it from your own Python or TypeScript code instead of the CLI. If you’ve used Claude Code to read files, run shell commands, search codebases, and edit code, the SDK points that same machinery at any problem you want. No human needs to sit in the loop.
Yes, you can point Claude Code at a 541,909-row retail dataset and walk away with a six-sheet Excel workbook, professional charts, and a parameterized report script, without opening a Python file or debugging a single line of code. The complete workflow takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes from raw data to finished output.
The goal is real delegation. Claude handles setup, cleaning, math, and charts. You focus on the right questions to ask.
Passkeys swap passwords for a public/private keypair kept in the device keychain and unlocked by Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello. The WebAuthn API does the crypto work, while @simplewebauthn/server version 13.3.0 covers Node, Bun, and Deno backends. Sign-up, autofill login, and account recovery all fit in one evening of work.
A passkey is a public/private keypair made on the user’s device. The private key never leaves the secure enclave (Secure Enclave on Apple hardware, StrongBox on Android, TPM on Windows). Only a signed challenge travels over the wire. Your server stores no shared secret to steal and no hash to crack offline. The signature is bound to your domain, so it can’t be phished. If a user visits examp1e.com instead of example.com, the browser refuses to sign. Credential phishing ends at the protocol layer.
Drop a few ESP32 boards ($3-8 each) flashed with ESPHome ’s Bluetooth Proxy firmware into rooms where BLE devices drop out. Home Assistant then routes Bluetooth traffic through the nearest proxy on its own. Each proxy adds about 10-15 meters of BLE coverage through interior walls, needs only a USB power cable, and works with HA’s native Bluetooth setup. The BLE devices themselves need no config changes. They have no idea they’re talking through a relay.
