bad news: For the first time in a while, you're going to have to wait a full year between #nbpy events Good news: WE'RE COMING BACK! April 25th and 26th, 2026, at our favorite ranch just south of Petaluma. See you there! https://buttondown.com/northbaypython/archive/save-the-date-for-2026/

All "workarounds" in your code are potential Chesterton's fences. Comment them well or the next guy or gal will tear them down. This tweet as much a "note to self" as unsolicited advice.

In England do they call it Super Mario Bruvs

Before ... After hate ... After I fixed it Hugz & xXx

I got nersniped into proposing a potential afternoon/evening of Takes, to be held somewhere in the Bay Area, sometime in August. Got a Take? Have an insatiable appetite for Attention? Submit your Take so that we might have an event: ehat.fyi oh no

Bought my #djangoconUS 2025 ticket yesterday. Early bird is still open through Saturday, May 31st! https://fosstodon.org/@djangocon/114582281985601120

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

I tried the impossible task of condensing my #pyconus experience into a blog post... I did not succeed... After posting it and re-reading it, I thought of at least half a dozen more interactions that I wished to highlight, and the more I sit with it, the more I realize that my attempt was […]

Looking through #pyconus pics and see that I forgot to post a pic for #pierogicon Enjoy!

Turns out some old (and new) friends were feeling the same way, so we got a crew together from the Old Days and we spun up a collective, got fiscal hosting with Raft Foundation (badasses!), and spent a couple of months building processes and testing ways to work and things to make, and now we're […]

Welp, looks like Stereolab has released their first album in around 15 years... I'll be over here feeling old and jamming out... #music

I gave a lightning talk at #pyconus titled ORM? OMG!!, and also hosted an open space on the topic of ORMs which was really good! My lightning talk highlighted a tool called Advanced Alchemy (a wrapper around SQLAlchemy), and I had great conversations throughout the conference on the topic […]

Listening to Mike Birbiglia (one of my favorite comedians) on the Wild Card podcast... To the question, "what truth guides your life more than any other?" "... Trying is more significant than results..." […]

In case you needed a playbook for responding to would-be dictators. From the NYT: "The funny thing is that there’s a playbook for overturning autocrats. It was written here in America, by a rumpled political scientist I knew named Gene Sharp. While little known in the United States before his […]

@hynek 💯 agree. It's been awesome how many people have Signal. And the peer pressure gets the rest, mwuahahaha. 😈 @Sha.01

Made it to LA from #pyconus and already feeling the post conference blues. Can't wait to see you all in Long Beach next year! ⛱️

Btw Pantheon is finally out on Netflix. I think it’s one of the best animated series / best sci-fi series (animated and not). It revolves around the concept of ‘UI’ (uploaded intelligence) which feels like a parallel to AI. The themes it takes on are super smart. Very compelling. We binged it […]

Done excellent advice from a cactus at Condado Tacos #pyconus

Too much good material in this Marshall Project keynote. I got a chance to chat with them on Friday (and plugged @civicband, I'm sure you'll hear about them, @phildini), but I'll still be going back to this talk after the conference. Thank you, @pycon! #pyconus

#pierogicon sans @webology #pyconus

About to do a lightning talk because why not? #pyconus

a thing I love about mastodon is that a few months ago I didn't even know SXSW was happening since no one here was talking about it, but today I'm keenly aware that PyCon is happening, because half my feed, including people I follow for mostly bike and soccer stuff are all at PyCon.

Takanori talking about learning Japanese with python... "Would you like to visit Japan?" "I have good news for you!" 😂⛩️ Maybe some day!

"who here knows what @ThePSF is and does?" asks @baconandcoconut. I'm around if you don't know, or want to know more, and happy to have a chat about how we build and grow a community around #python. #pyconus

Yes! #pyconus

Come and see if you can complete the quest... At the #psf booth at #pyconus

On the 28X on the way to #pyconus venue. Will be there in around 45 mins and will likely be looking to catch a (plant based) meal in case anyone is up for it...

Started my trek to #pyconus early this morning (before 4am local) with a walk to the train station in sleepy Redlands, CA and just sat down in the plane at LAX direct to Pittsburgh. See (some of) you there.

#PyConUS attendees who are flying into #Pittsburgh have a $2.75 option for getting from the #PIT airport to the convention center: the #28X #bus. The ticket machine and door to the 28X are just past baggage claim L, on the left side. You can pay cash, buy a […] [Original post on metalhead.club]

As strategies go, that's a solid one.

The spec for pylock.toml is up! https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/pylock-toml/

May the 5th Element be with you.

The most millennial post ever

Please enjoy the talk I delivered this weekend at #excavacon 2025 — it is now live on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lcj0-VrJbXQ

I used to be terrified of public speaking https://youtu.be/X9gGYZ9G_d4

We agree with @penguin , go to https://www.python.org/ and become a supporting member today! @ThePSF stewards Python, core infrastructure like PyPI, and makes events like #nbpy possible ❤️

We did it again 💖 Thank you to all of our speakers, sponsors, reviewers, volunteers, and attendees for making North Bay Python something special. Our cups are so full -- we'll see you in 2026! #NBPy With love, from the bottom of our hearts, @chrisjrn, @skimbrel, @andrew, and @robin

Hard to say goodbye.... #nbpy

If you saw the ‘no ads, weapons, genocides, Microsoft Teams’ slide: that was from my talk yesterday at #nbpy. It’s more about the list I wanted to make for myself, and why I ended up doing what I do. Content warning: marine facts https://youtu.be/X9gGYZ9G_d4

So happy to be here for Lilian's talk! We were both in the Durangonaut program and met last year at #nbpy ! #djangonautspace

Also, apologies for not making my last series of toots a thread. 😊 Tech is hard.

If you've never had the opportunity to attend a conference, I understand. In some ways, it is a luxury to be able to do so. But if you're on the fence, or if you've ever thought to sign up for opportunity grants--don't hesitate. There are many advantages beyond mere "information gathering" […]

Just today, I was able to reconnect with individuals I've only previously met at a conference event, or only met online. They are people that are kind of like me, but mostly NOT like me. And that is great! We need tech to be less tech and more human. 6/6
