We had brief power outage and I was weirdly excited because I got to test out the V2L feature from our Ioniq5 EV 😎

💡 V2L: vehicle-to-load, it lets you draw electricity from the EV's battery, without needing to start the vehicle.

I bought the adapter a year ago but didn't have any reason to use it. Now that I know it works, I'm gonna keep it in the frunk for whatever emergency reasons.

The exhaustion after you had to make decisions for 2000+ people and then you came home and your family asks what's for dinner and you can't even make that tiny decision.

The zipper on my laptop bag broke.
I don't have the skills to fix it, so I wanted to get a new one.
All products I've seen so far only come in dark colors like black, gray. Very few of them come in brighter colors like pink or purple. When they do have it in the bright colors, they're clearly labeled as "for women", have less features, look more like handbags, and cost more (from $10-40$ more).

Client:
"We strictly follow PEP 8 to the extent that we use multiple linters in our CI and pre-commit, isort, autoformatting tools, etc."

Me:
Writes PR that fulfills all that as well as docstrings which conform to PEP 257 (one blank line between summary and detailed description). I'm a Python core developer, after all.

Same client:
"That's an overkill. Change requested: remove blank lines in multiline docstrings."

Kinda confused 😵 not sure if I'm still going home tonight?? As soon as I touched down at YYZ, I got multiple flight cancelled/delayed email notifications (and SMS, and Mobile app notifications).
🤷‍♀️
Sitting it all out while I'm snacking at Maple Leaf Lounge, I'll read it all later once they finalize it. I'm sure it will all work out. My travel insurance will cover whatever I need, so no worries.

Folks are asking what's next for me after #PyConUS.

I'm trying to figure out how to actually get paid doing things I'm good at 🤑

I'm working on finalizing how "Mariatta as a Consulting Service" would look like, so stay tuned for news.

Meanwhile one way you can support me is by sponsoring me on GitHub.

https://github.com/sponsors/Mariatta/

Thanks to the 11 people who are currently already sponsoring me.

I'm still at the sprints and would be happy to chat more in person!

Is there a record for the number of people in your household who has earned @beeware challenge coin?

Our family now has three "Yak Shaver" coins 😎
I'm probably eligible for the "Yak Herder" at the same time, but forgot to ask for it 😅

Yesterday with my family during PyCon US sprint, we made this tiny PR
https://github.com/beeware/beeware/pull/365

It uses my GitHub account because my 11 year old doesn't have one yet 😓

The records you all broke at PyCon US:

• of proposals in CFP

• of registrations since pandemic

• spike in new registrations (10%) so close to the conference that we had to lock it down
  (I thought we'd be done breaking records at this point)

• of toots using official hashtag during the conference @fedidevs (each day we broke our own record from the day before)

• $ PyLadies auction proceeds

So grateful for everyone for the support and making history!! 🤩🤩🤩

Discussing command line differences

In Windows:
md = make directory
cd = change directory

In Unix:
mkdir = make directory
cd = change directory

We started wondering about why the inconsitency? At some point someone uttered: "Windows got it right"

🙊🙉

(I'm sure there's very good reason for the inconsistency)

Will check out the sprints hopefully later today but now I'm going to Waffle House with my family. Don't judge me.

I declare the "Oh baby" ice cream flavor from Millie's Homemade as the official #PyConUS ice cream flavor.

Crumbled tender slices of frosted birthday cake and lots of rainbow sprinkles into a UPMC-purple vanilla ice cream.

We don't say "congratulations" when someone becomes an open source maintainer.

Instead we say, "Congratulations, thank you, and sorry"

Today at PyCon US lunch, for the first time I met other people IRL (two people) who also watched the kdrama The Glory on Netflix and that made me so happy 😊

First I couldn't figure out how to work the fancy Nespresso machinery thingy in my hotel room.
Then I couldn't figure out how to work the printer in the conference staff room.

I swear I'm usually smarter than this 😵
