"Our culture’s default assumption is that everybody should always be striving for perfection – settling for anything less is seen as a regrettable compromise."

"Link to talk slides: Optional slides of (previous) versions of your submission for reviewers only. MUST NOT include your name."
Okay that's weird. So you would look at my slides, but only if they are scrubbed of (presumably) all pointers to my identity?
And then three fields down: "Public link to supporting material. Any link you would like to share with the Programme team – e.g. a github repository, paper, etc."
@andreagrandi No no they are not required at all! They are completely optional just in case you've done the talk before. It just seems odd to me that they let you optionally add a link to slides, but then add the "MUST NOT include your name" warning, RFC 2119 style.
Does anyone else backtick your own #perl scripts? That's what I meant back during #europython 23 when I was talking with some ppl about quick prototyping before rewriting standalone scripts into more robust things.
Also, don't mind me, i'm just slowly waking up from 20 yrs long coma. Ok, just hormone induced continuous stress disorder, but it kind of feels like I'm 12 again and full of curiosity. #hrtmagic
Your introduction to the :python: logging module at #EuroPython was great to watch.
It probably was the push I needed to start using it instead of all those prints. It seems so much more useful in the long run, and to leave those debug logging bits in there and only wake them up with an appropriate environment variable.
I helped out with the CPython sprint at #EuroPython last weekend, we had one room for code and another for documentation, and merged some 140 PRs in total! It was rewarding to help people make their very first contributions. Thanks to everyone who contributed, plus to all the organisers and volunteers!
Here's a great writeup on the conference and sprints from @ambv:
While I'm back from Prague where I was taking part in #EuroPython2023, it's still very much on my mind! I wrote about what I did there, and some other related stuff.
On a train from Prague to Berlin after my 11th #EuroPython & my 🧠 is completely empty but my ❤️ is overflowing. Not only is it crucial for people who invest a lot of time in unpaid community work to have the opportunity to meet their users & readers & hear more than complaints. 🧵
(the only downer was how my English speaking for 45 minutes took over my Czech brain and when giving up the stage, I translated “thank you very much” a bit too literally — I KNOW IT’S “moc” AND NOT “hodně”. 🙈)
