@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 #pyconus so I didn't get a chance to say "hi" in person

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?)

@mariatta I know it's not over yet, but thank you, the sponsors, and all the volunteers who made #PyConUS 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.

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

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! 🤣)

Simon Willison talk at #PyConUS - "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. 😉

Okay y'all showed out!!

Yesterday I ask about 3000 folks at #pyconUS (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.

If anyone at #pyconus 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)

Oh word? Cool. Cool cool cool.

One thing I forgot to mention in the excitement and rush of my #pyconus 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

djotaku, 10 days ago to random

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) #pyconus

Regardless of how you feel about the content of the protests, one thing is absolutely clear: If you've read any of @pluralistic books, you would definitely not be surprised at the police's actions last night at Columbia University. The books have been an eye-opening education in how adversarial modern protest response is.

@mkennedy love the new theme "song" for @talkpython that came on before the chatgpt SAAS episode

@brianokken re: moving away from slack: have you considered matrix? There's the main free server and it's also pretty easy to run your own if you use containers

I know everyone in the OSS world has been talking/reading about the #XZ issue for the past few days, but I found that @joshbressers episode: https://opensourcesecurity.io/2024/04/01/xz-bonus-spectacular-episode/ and the @changelog news episode: https://changelog.com/news/88 to be great explainers. I think the Changelog is probably a better first listen to get all the details and then you can listen to Josh and @kurtseifried
talk about the implications and how this is an unsolvable problem, but that doesn't mean we should give up
