I just found a rare deal on the Apple Watch Series 11: Its $50 cheaper than the new Series 12 at Target

The Apple Watch Series 11, GPS, 42mm model, is currently available at a discounted price of $349.99 at Target, marking a $49.01 saving off its regular price of $399. This deal, timed to coincide with upcoming Circle Deal Days event, represents a 13% reduction. The Series 11 is offered in three color variants - Rose gold aluminum with a light blush Sport Band, Jet black aluminum with a black Sport Band, and Space gray aluminum with a black Sport Band.

Despite the release of the newer Apple Watch Series 12, which boasts enhanced features such as more robust glass, quicker charging, improved heart rate sensors, and an upgraded S11 chip, the Series 11 remains a more budget-friendly option. While the Series 11 has seen lower prices in the past, notably at $279 on Amazon, it is currently the most affordable Apple Watch Series 11 on the market. At present, the Series 11 is not listed at Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart.

AI Agents - Async Programming and Pytantic Data Validation

Async Sync means one after another. For example, calling 3 functions named f1 , f2 , and f3 . Assume f1 performs some I/O operations like a DB query, API request, or file operation.

  • Async programming executes tasks sequentially, not concurrently.
  • Pydantic validates and structures LLM output into desired formats.
  • Async and Pydantic together improve data integrity and code readability.

Your README's demo link is dead and nobody told you.

Launch day. Your README is live, the demo link everyone clicks first goes nowhere — the repo moved, the docs page got renamed, nobody noticed during review. Link rot is quiet until it isn't.

  • README's demo link was dead
  • Link rot went unnoticed
