Of course the shirt I procrastinated ordering before PyCon showed up while I was at PyCon ๐Ÿคฃ

@greg I got this one and a few others at https://www.geeksoutfit.com/

@greg @ryancheley it's above average quality for sure, I was a bit worried but these were originally intended to just be fun at PyCon. I also picked up some others like the "I'm sorry about what I said when I was debugging" one.

You know what happens when you publicly shame someone for sharing covid test results? People stop sharing them. The test results don't change, just the ability of other people to learn that they may have been exposed and to test and take precautions themselves. Public shaming may make you feel superior, but it does nothing for harm reduction at best.

@jonafato i think I saw the same post and I had to resist just posting an eye roll emoji on that one.

@ehmatthes yes I was surprised we managed to not run into each other, but I also made myself scarce on Saturday to recharge a little.

I am listening to myself being interviewed on the Stack Overflow podcast. I always cringe at the sound of my own recorded voice, but this is necessary for me to improve my public speaking. Please clap.

Wondering when @revsys will get its first "Can you help us untangle this code base entirely written by newbies with GenAI?" project.

@carlton oh you VASTLY underestimate the ingenuity of clients. "So this blog uses Python 2.7, 3.8, PHP, Rust, and 4 different backend JS frameworks... that's ok right?"

Everything so far caught up to me and I had to go back to my hotel for a bit. After drinking some water and taking a nap, feeling much better. I'm at the lightning talks now, then planning to take it much easier tonight than last night.

@davidism same! Last night was fun but Iโ€™m too old to be up that late hahaha

Meeting new people at PyCon or really any Python related conference is so much fun. Making them realize the people who maintain the libraries they depend on are, you know, just people like them is so much fun and so much just instilled in our community

Wait you're the guy that ... Wait the guy who just left the dinner/bar is the guy who does... HOLY SHIT. Mind blown. Your work matters, your contributions matter. It pushes us all forward and as long as we keep doing that in an open and inclusive way we're gonna succeed.

I wanna hear about the best concerts youโ€™ve been to! Some of mine:

  • Ozomatli at The Catalyst - played until curfew, spilled out onto the street and jammed for another hour until the cops came
  • Flaming Lips at Liberty Hall - second set, played the entirety of Dark Side
  • Dar Williams at Liberty - power went out, she sat on the edge of the stage and played three songs by flashlight
  • Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlisle, et al at the Gorge - simply magical

Many assume all small electronics won't last all that long. I just plugged in my Shure bluetooth headphones I got soon after Chris DiBona recommended them to me when I commented on them back at SCALE 5X in 2007 (we were giving talks in adjoining rooms). 17 years and still going

I did this last year and it worked really well. I travel out a day early to a conference (in this case PyCon US) and have a very very light day (dinner) and otherwise give myself the day to rest and hack on something. Just got a LARGE coffee and we're off!
