@leahawasser @AlSweigart it sure was! I'm already contemplating a sequel ( I had to leave out so many projects ). Or maybe a full-fledged talk for for next time?

My 7 year old daughter just asked why the logo isn't as cute as the gopher. She wanted it to be a cute snake.

@mkennedy you've mentioned a few times you prefer chameleon to jinja2. What's the benefit in your opinion? Also, what about partials love when using htmx?

New idea for what to use LLMs for … “hey model make an excuse for why I can’t make brunch Saturday” (thanks @simon for this! 🤣)

@Lorenanicole shared that with my wife this morning. She loves how sassy Takei is

@simon @Lorenanicole except for the injection he mentions right after where they email the person you begged off from having brunch with!

Related - recently George Takei tooted - "The version of me who made plans was less tired than the current me" is a valid excuse for not going to brunch today.

@Lorenanicole @georgetakei he sure is!! I love how he is using his celebrity to bring attention to and ensure we don't forget about the shameful treatment of our Japanese citizens during WWII

@miguelgrinberg As I was reading your Microdot post (https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/microdot-yet-another-python-web-framework), it made me want to ask your opinion on web frameworks, especially given your expertise with Flask. I've written apps in Django, FastAPI, and Flask. I think the dev story for choosing between Django and Flask/FastAPI is pretty easy to see. But for a new project how does one decide between Flask and FastAPI? Thoughts?

@pluralistic did you ever do a write up on why you went away from creative commons for your books?

Woof. Like I wasn’t worried already. (Worried for my fellow humans who I can’t with good conscious be idk the word just exist?)

@Lorenanicole I'm not normally conspiracy minded AND helicopters are more dangerous than planes, but it's not like countries don't assassinate folks who are inconvenient. Either way it can't be good for the region

@marcgibbons @baconandcoconut I heard that yesterday and applauded it, but what does it mean in practice? I ask because I honestly don't know. Does it mean PSF running its own social networks? Or rather just that we won't tolerate those hateful things when people say them?

@leahawasser awesome talk. Python packaging is currently definitely more complex than it needs to be

Okay y'all showed out!!

Yesterday I ask about 3000 folks at (In-person and virtual) along with folks on social media. 200 of y'all rose to the occasion and donated making us smash our hopeful goal for the first day of the event.

That funding will continue to support our initiatives - https://blackpythondevs.com/initiatives/.

That goal always day one and y'all did it! Day two we're continuing the push.

Let's we add $4000 as our goal today to help support Black Python Devs.

@kjaymiller heck yeah, dude!! Your talk was so great. The most important part, to me, was that intention is important but matters less than how it's received

My absolute favorite fact so far from @pluralistic 's book The Internet Con is how the mother flippin' booster rockets for the US space shuttle had a size constraint that could be traced back to ancient Rome.

    @simonw @AlSweigart I REALLY need to read that again. Haven't read it since it was published 24 years ago and ont only has the world changed a ton, but so have I. I wonder if I would find the same parts to be as neat as I did back then when Stephenson was declaring the end of cyberpunk and the birth of cypherpunk.

    @mkennedy when do we get to see the results of this? Very intrigued because you two tend to have great conversations. It's the only time I saw you at so I didn't get a chance to say "hi" in person

    If anyone at wants some pretty decent ramen, yuzu kitchen is only about a 10-20 minute walk away (took me 10, but Google maps predicted it would take 15). But they don't mess around with their spicy wontons. Usually I love me some spicy food (give me that rooster sauce in my phô or chili oil in my nuoc mam), but when I ate the bok choy that came with the wontons I thought my throat was closing up (some other Pythonistas there last night might have heard my struggles)

    So happy that @Lorenanicole (no relation) chose my lightning talk yesterday. Later in the elevator I had some folks ask about where they might catch my streams (related to my https://djotaku.github.io/ELDonationTracker/ project). My extra life fundraising page (http://extralife.ericmesa.com) has links to twitch and YouTube. I've been posting more content directly to YouTube recently so that I don't have to worry about family interruptions on weekdays. (Can just pause the video)

    @mariatta I know it's not over yet, but thank you, the sponsors, and all the volunteers who made such an incredible experience. I've attended virtually before, but this was my first time in person and the "hallway track" was amazing - I met so many great Pythonistas. I also LOVE that the PSF has continued to have the online platform available to in-person attendees. It's great for when you need to separate yourself from the crowd, but not miss the talks you want to see.

    @djotaku@mastodon.social avatar

    One thing I forgot to mention in the excitement and rush of my lightning talk yesterday was the fact that https://djotaku.github.io/ELDonationTracker/ is one of my few projects that I know has users besides myself because I actually get bug reports and pull requests and that can be such a great motivator to keep improving it

    Simon Willison talk at - "just because a tool is flawed doesn't mean it's not useful" - this was the key thesis of the conversation I had at breakfast yesterday with a dev who creates ML/AI models and apps for clients. It was a fascinating conversation and this quote from this morning's keynote is so true.

    Also, lots of bird naming going on here. The AIs are going to get a very interesting idea of what humans like. 😉
