I have a junior #python dev that's ready for his first job. If you're looking in that space, let me know. He's hard-working, persistent and literally loves programming. The problem we worked on today had him so excited. He just needs a shot at this point.

Few non-programmers know that less than 10% of a programmer’s productive time is spent actually writing code. A typical programmer actually spends around 70% of their working day desperately Googling to try to find the answers, while the remaining 20% is taken up closing all the tabs they opened.

Over here in Python-land, anything worth doing twice is worth building a tool to do it for you. So you can, of course, import functions straight from the site. Saves a ton of time, and avoids pesky complaints during codebase license audits.
This past weekend at PyCon US I received this - sort of the Python community lifetime achievement award.
The projects that lead to this award were never solo efforts, they were all team efforts, so for me the significance of this award is as a reminder of the things we built together more than as a personal thing.
(Some have already made fun of me for saying that ("oh, how Hollywood of you"), but it's the truth and I refuse to let those clowns bring me down. 😝)
Come and help us maintain and enhance a fully open-source operating system and cloud stack that has been battle-tested in very large production environments.
There are plenty of interesting problems to solve, all the way from writing device drivers and debugging early boot issues, to writing new UIs in Rust.
I think we're a pretty friendly team to work alongside too ;)
59 years ago today, the first computer program written in #BASIC was run.
The easy-to-learn and -use #programming language revolutionized #computing. A decade later, #BillGates would co-found #Microsoft to develop and sell the BASIC interpreter for the #Altair 8800, the first commercially successful desktop microcomputer.
@bazcurtis@Cloudguy I’m still in touch with my elementary school math teacher that introduced me to the #Commodore64. I slightly repaid the favor thirty years later by rehabilitating a collection of #OLPC XO laptops for her to bring to kids in Africa

A colleague used this image to describe the documentation of a library. Meaning that the documentation was the example with the rabbits, but they have to use the library as the second part of the image. #programming
@flypaper@lpil not at the moment, but I really should! been following the project for a very long time so just happy for its continued growth and success :)
would say it's a proper choice for building web-based applications end-to-end, amongst other things 👍
Early #Perl luminary and author (#OReilly camel and llama books, many magazine articles, etc.) Randal Schwartz, a/k/a merlyn, is in dire financial straits.
He needs gainful #employment NOW of any kind, and although his #programming language of choice now is #Dart and the #Flutter framework, he’s willing to fall back on his @Perl chops.
Hey, so #Netflix is hiring for our #Python Platform team. This is an awesome opportunity to help build out the Python ecosystem here and work on some really cool stuff.
My PMs are open so hit me up with referrals and/or crypto spam.
Is anyone looking for a little extra development help? I've been struggling to find projects lately.
I've been building Web sites & UIs since the early 00s. I worked back through the stack with PHP & Node. I use NextJS, React, Laravel, some Vue. I'm learning Qwik.
I’m UK-based, experienced at remote. I can mentor/advise or be a CTO sounding board. I'm open to one-off, short or long term projects.
@meejah@yossarian@jugmac00 Why does Debian check if the next txtorcon is uploaded by the same person? Having a team upload a package is a good practice, I hope distributions are not actively encouraging practices that cause maintainer burn-out.
Friendly reminder that XULRunner, the standalone Gecko runtime that once powered web-based applications like Songbird and that was abandoned by Mozilla Corporation has been revived and now builds atop Goanna.
