Exciting to see that @PyConUS has posted the videos from #PyCon2023, which includes my very first lightning talk at #PyConUS! Nothing fancy but I hope it's a good start to pushing myself toward my goal to give more talks and presentations at conferences. You have to start somewhere!
Here's my talk, which starts around 34:47, but I recommend browsing the other talks as well - there were some fantastic speakers there this year. #python#pycon#lightningtalk
API keys, passwords, auth tokens, cryptographic secrets… in the era of cloud-based development, we've all got a bunch of them. But where do you put them? How do you keep them safe? And how can you access them conveniently from your Python code, both in development and production, without putting them at risk?
At #PyConUS2023, @davidism facilitated an open space discussion of "maintainer #burnout, how to survive it, and maybe how to prevent it." Our notes, my analysis, and useful links in a new blog post:
I have gotten a negative on an antigen test and a Lucira rapid molecular test since leaving #PyConUS2023 a few days ago, in addition to my negative tests while in Salt Lake City, so things are looking good so far re: #COVID. Hope others have also remained uninfected!
And, as of today, a negative PCR test, nearly a week after I left Salt Lake City. Looks like #PyConUS's #COVID mitigations, and my precautions, worked for me!
Looking for a little break from the excellent sprints today? After lunch you can join me in 251D or maybe the hallway outside for what we're calling the first #pyPolish -- I brought my gel nail kit, so time and supplies permitting you're welcome to paint your nails. I'll tell you about how gel nails work if you're new to the process. No, I'm not selling anything, this is purely for fun and to look pretty. Depending on demand I'll have the stuff set out until 5:30 or so. Here are some photos from yesterday.
Still working through a backlog of photos, but this one was too good not to share while everyone is still following #pyconus#pycon#pycon2023 and #pyconus2023
@willingc motivation is what brought me to #python too. I was able to write software to solve interesting problems for myself. My first project wanted to be “Jarvis” from iron man… didn’t get there, but it opened so many doors for me in my life ❤️
The #PyConUS2023 open space on #maintainer burnout: ~20 people sharing experiences and tips. I'm writing a longer blog post with thoughts and resources, but here's the heart of my advice:
My lightning talk this morning was on my Python CLI toolbox of tools that I’ve built as a Python beginner. This was my first PyCon and I’ve learned so much. Can’t wait to learn more. Thank you so much to @ThePSF for your efforts and @benb for the photo! @pycon@PyConUS#pycon2023
