Brian #1: Migrating from mypy to ty: Lessons from FastAPI

Tim Hopper
I saw this post by Sebastián Ramírez about all of his projects switching to ty
- FastAPI, Typer, SQLModel, Asyncer, FastAPI CLI
SqlModel is already ty only - mypy removed
This signals that ty is ready to use
Tim lists some steps to apply ty to your own projects
- Add ty alongside mypy
- Set error-on-warning = true
- Accept the double-ignore comments
- Pick a smaller project to cut over first
- Drop mypy when the noise exceeds the signalAdd ty alongside mypy
Related anecdote:
- I had tried out ty with pytest-check in the past with difficulty
- Tried it again this morning, only a few areas where mypy was happy but ty reported issues
- At least one ty warning was a potential problem for people running pre-releases of pytest,
- Not really related: packaging.version.parse is awesome

Michael #2: Oxyde ORM

Oxyde ORM is a type-safe, Pydantic-centric asynchronous ORM with a high-performance Rust core.
Note: Oxyde is a young project under active development. The API may evolve between minor versions.
No sync wrappers or thread pools. Oxyde is async from the ground up
Includes oxyde-admin
Features
- Django-style API - Familiar Model.objects.filter() syntax
- Pydantic v2 models - Full validation, type hints, serialization
- Async-first - Built for modern async Python with asyncio
- Rust performance - SQL generation and execution in native Rust
- Multi-database - PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL support
- Transactions - transaction.atomic() context manager with savepoints
- Migrations - Django-style makemigrations and migrate CLI

Michael #4: Raw+DC Database Pattern: A Retrospective

A new design pattern I’m seeing gain traction in the software space: Raw+DC: The ORM pattern of 2026
I’ve had a chance to migrate three of my most important web app.
Thrilled to report that yes, the web app is much faster using Raw+DC
Plus, this was part of the journey to move from 1.3 GB memory usage to 0.45 GB (more on this next week)
