I do like both, and I've never understood why this is an issue, is it not the content of the book that matters? Not how that content is delivered? 🤔😁

Years ago, my Mother-in-law began reading, "The Exorcist". She said it was the most evil book she ever read. So evil in fact, she couldn't finish it, took it over to the beach and threw it into the ocean off a fishing pier.

| went and bought another copy, ran the faucet over it and left it in the night table drawer by her bed. My Father-in-law said that night was the first time she ever screamed and fainted.

I'm looking for a #Bookwyrm instance to join. Anybody have any recommendations? If it matters, my reading tends toward Science Fiction and Fantasy but I will wander into other sections of the library now and then: ancient history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, humour ... I will even read the odd poem now and then.

Comic from Unshelved about a boy asking librarian about what books he can check out and the librarian telling him he can check out any book. The teacher says it's above the child's reading level and they have a policy. The librarian replies he loves the sound of a breaking policy breaking.

As my company is evaluation the use of #Cursor I'm playing around with it. First expression is mixed.

Scratching my own itch, I thought of implementing a software tool which checks which books of a #HumbleBundle book bundle I already own. Initially again my HumbleBundle library and additionally against my #BookWyrm.

I started in the planning mode.

Cursor listed some steps on how to accomplish the task and asked me which language I would like to use.

Stating that I would use whatever is best suited, Cursor picked #Python.

Being cheeky and with my preferred use in mind I asked if a browser plugin wouldn't be better suited
(imagine that, looking at a bundle, the books you own are automatically highlighted)

No chance. Cursor was determined to stick with Python!

Ok, lets generate the project

#Cursor generate roughly 1k lines of Python.
This included the (pseudo) code for querying #Bookwyrm. I would have preferred to generate this later (as a second step) But maybe it my mistake. I was prompting it wrong. I shouldn't have mentioned anything I didn't directly want.

Without looking at the Bookwyrm client code in detail, I doubt that it will work as my instance ( @realn2s@bookwyrm.social) require #2fa 🤷🏻

Checking the HumbleBundle client code I noticed several things

It contained a ton of normalization code. Of which I'm not sure if it is necessary (it might as well be, but I would leave it out for now. As it much harder to figure out that code isn't required but get executed nevertheless, than noticing that code is missing)

The authentication was done through a session cookie you had to extract form the browser. Cursor proposed to write it to an env file (that doesn't feel terrible secure 😬)

The Humble bundle client could either get the session cookie passed, or it would query the env 😬. I don't consider this good programming practice.

The code looks like it handles HumbleBundle games as well. This was requested and is additional code which shouldn't be there.

Reading through the code it looked about right. But it was too mich code, too much gold plating for me to be confident that the code really would be working.

Cursor provided no way to test the code apart from running it. And I'm not going to run it with my understanding.

On the positive side
I learned about the Click command line option "parsing" library

and about the dataclass decorator in #Python

Next step, let's try if Cursor can iteratively fixe some of my "issues"
