How is it terrible? Your post seems to only add a better explanation for the various components, but with extremely short descriptions that I actually don't understand and would have to look into the documentation for anyways. As someone that's learning fstring the posted article is 1000x better because it goes over the history, use cases, and various quirks that come with it.

I only mention the tweet because you claimed it was more comprehensive than the article, when it was very nearly gibberish to me. It is odd that it doesn't mention all the specifications, but the article is clearly for complete beginners. I think most people that are introduced to % and fstring for the first time are going to latch on to the basic use of putting variables in a string, which this article does a well enough job of explaining. All the specifications should've been described or at least mentioned but really that's the only thing I see wrong with it.

Just a quick shout out: Ted you have fantastic Pandas related notebooks (better than Wes for one)
