I got a good quote in this story about that dumb Zoom Idea to have "digital twins" attend meetings in your place https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/06/zoom-ceo-envisions-ai-deepfakes-attending-meetings-in-your-place/

so far "How Git Works" has sold more on its first day than any other zine except "The Pocket Guide to Debugging" and it's only been 3 hours https://wizardzines.com/zines/git/

appreciate you all, hope the zine helps with your git woes ❤

Thinking of doing an offer on the newsletter: you send me proof you sponsor open source, I’ll give you a free subscription 🤔

https://buttondown.email/carlton

Update: OK, that's on. Subscribe. Send me the weakest screenshot. That'll do. If it's $5 I'll give you three months. If it's loads, I'll give you a year. (Loose terms. No stress.)

• The Django Enhancement Proposal I wrote for background workers was officially accepted: https://github.com/django/deps/pull/86

And it's only my first working day of the week!

I really enjoyed the recent @djangonews conversation with @webology. Jeff, you can repeat that line about wanting to see "decades of over-investment in open source" as many times as you want.

Attending conferences is refreshing.

Among other kinds of energies, to me, it recharges a specific one 🔋

Inspiration.

The motivation to go home and code as hard as possible.
Create new things and improve existing ones.
Use new tools and ideas.

I heard some professor put googly eyes on a pencil and waved it at his class, saying:

“Hi! I'm Tim the pencil! I love helping children with their homework, but my favorite is drawing pictures!”

Then, without warning, he snapped the pencil in half. When half his college students gasped, he said:

“THAT'S where all this AI hype come from. We're not good at programming consciousness. But we're GREAT at imagining non-conscious things are people.”

Having gone to a bunch of confs in the past year, I wasn't sure about going to Pycon Italia. So glad I went! I got to meet @paulox , @ines , @vicki , @ramgarlic (finally! how did we miss each other at RustNL), @lcfd , and a bunch of other wonderful people. I will definitely be at Bologna next year 💯
