I ended up exploring some new-to-me areas of python to do this. I&rsquo;m pretty pleased with how it turned out and want to share it with you!</p> <p>I have made a <a href="https://codeberg.org/ginabythebay/examples/src/branch/main/annotations_and_newtype">runnable example</a> of the code from this article available, if you want to try it out.</p> https://ginabythebay.studio/posts/bot-production/ Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:01:46 +0100 https://ginabythebay.studio/posts/bot-production/ <p>3 years since I posted. I wonder if I (still) have any human readers. Many things have changed in 3 years and one of them is a renewed focus on software. I wrote software for decades before following a path that led me to machining for a while. More on that later perhaps.</p> <p>Even after I stopped working in software, I continued to write software for my own pleasure, including writing a bot for a friend&rsquo;s discord server. That bot has been running for about a year and I have been adding various features to it as time went on. The bot helps people to moderate their server and helps them to visualize the current traffic and act on it immediately.</p>
