Happy to be part of the 1,752 #PyConUS first time attendees! ✨ and already looking forward to the upcoming conferences 👀
Leaving here super inspired and motivated to be a better engineer! 💪Thank you to all the organizers for making this Pythonista’s experience so memorable ❤️
@sjbitcode@webology still unknown. When it was in my backyard in SD the answer was always yes. Haven't yet figured out whether timing will work out for me this year. I hope so!
@fedidevs I'd love to see someone compare the activity on other social networks.
Based on my estimates a few days ago, I think Mastodon may have surpassed the others (really Twitter was the only real competitor in terms of volume I think). But real data would be so fun to see!
The highlights of #PyConUS for me was the neurodivergent open space. I'd encourage anyone to do something similar at a conference that has open spaces: If you haven't found your people, but know they are there, reserve an open space for a bit for them to meet. They probably want to meet you as much as you want to meet them!

@joelle: this is an excellent description of open spaces!
BoFs (birds of a feather sessions) sounds a bit opaque, but I like that term for this reason.
Meetup organizers, brand new coders, Ruby to Python transplants, etc. Whoever your people are, it's worth putting an open space on the board to find them!
@webology@mistersql I asked for all 3 of the vegetarian tacos but vegan and they did it. You can also build your own tacos and they have plenty of vegan ingredients.
They weren't the tacos I'm used to in San Diego, but they were both spicy and delicious. I might even go there again before we leave... 🌮
Quick pitch: Python skill-building through hands-on learning, by writing code, reflecting on your code, and re-writing code. Also weekly tips and screencasts to augment the exercises.
I'd love to chat more about it (and anything else!). I'd also love to meet in-person.
#PyConUS friends who aren't attending the auction: come play Cabo with me tonight. I'd to teach you!
After the lightning talks, I plan to quickly eat tacos at Condados and then hang out in the Westin lobby and play Cabo. I won't be up too late though. See you tonight!
