A collection of 580+ short 'Today I Learned' technical notes by Simon Willison, published as Markdown files in a GitHub repository and searchable at til.simonwillison.net via Datasette. Topics span Python, SQLite, LLMs, GitHub Actions, macOS, and many other developer tools.
Use cases
- find a quick snippet for configuring GitHub Actions
- look up how to do something in SQLite or Datasette
- search notes about LLM tooling and MCP setup
- browse tips on Python packaging and uv
- subscribe to an Atom feed of new developer tips
- set up a similar TIL site with Datasette
When to choose
- you want concise, practical notes on Python, SQLite, LLMs, or CI tooling
- you need a searchable reference of small developer how-tos
- you want inspiration for publishing your own TIL collection
When to avoid
- you need comprehensive tutorials or structured courses
- you need production-grade software rather than notes
- you need documentation for a specific tool's full API
