Gosh this is so much fun !!!!

I'm celebrating the Python community with this Bingo game! 🐍✨ Play here: python-bingo.netlify.app I'm thankful to the PSF for all the experiences and support. I encourage all to donate and support our ecosystem: donate.python.org #Python #SupportPSF #PSF

As we near a traditional 2 week PTO period, if you are planning on working, remember to - assigning lots of issues - cc lots of people - change lots of common code - comment on lots of code reviews Essentially, let everyone know they were missed by filling up their inbox for when they return 😈

“I just started writing Python & hoped it wouldn’t blow up.” In 2006, frustrated after forgetting his thumb drive (again), Drew Houston opened his laptop on a bus ride and began coding the first lines of what would become Dropbox. Hear the story 👀👇 youtu.be/69HHFdoz34M?...

Friends are important. I don’t mean digital avatars or next word predictions or emojis with numbers next to them that increase. I mean people you call at 3 pm in a parking lot when you are lost and desperate. I mean people who listen to hours of your bs and occasionally tell you no. /1

On lobsters there is a question if “the transition to IPv6 [is] inevitable?” At least for me personally I went back to IPv4. I went from IPv6 everywhere on my consumer stuff to just IPv4 and the result is a more stable home network. v6 on consumer HW seems less tested ipv6.hanazo.no/posts/ipv6-t...

Use #Python at all? I would like to do a silly thing, which I hope will bring amusement to others as well as me (if it works out). If you wouldn't mind, please fill out this form, and boost for reach: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Climbing thoughts... What are some of your knowledge gaps? Who or what can help you discover them?

One thing that crystalized to me this #PyConUS is that I judge my conferences by the amount of meaningful social interactions. There's always more ppl that I want to hang out with than I end up, especially given that I had some kind of vocal chord injury and didn't take advantage of all nights 1/7

Update to the GitHub Models plugin for @simonwillison.net 's LLM CLI. It now supports schemas, async, and embedding models! Also added ~10 new models including GPT-4.1 series, DeepSeek-V3 and more github.com/tonybaloney/...

Because I have Mr. Rogers on my mind this week, here is the article I keep mentioning regarding his rules for (what I am reminded is called) "Freddish": web.archive.org/web/20180609.... It's worth a read, even if you've read it before.

Exciting news!! The first batch of #PyConUS 2025 recordings is now available on the PyCon US YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/c/pyconus#PyConUS 🐍 📺 Stay tuned - more recordings will be added soon!

I was so excited to meet the creator of the earrings that I won from the #PyconUS #PyLadies auction -- and discover she made a pair for herself, too! If you squint hard, you can kind of read the Python program in the earrings...

I don't know why I ever expect anything different at this point... 🤪

Editorial on neurodiveristy frameworks in East Asian cultures: identity vs person-first debates don't make (linguistic) sense in some languages.

I wrote a blog post unravelling t-strings in #Python to help explain what they are doing -- providing syntactic access to the f-string parser -- while we wait on the official docs. snarky.ca/unravelling-... /cc @pauleveritt.org @lysnikolaou.com

I have created a few open spaces at PyCon. Two tabular sessions. The second is more focused on ML. The third session is a run/walk Saturday morning.
