In VERY sad news, I’ve dropped and broken one of my favorite cups. It was a speaker gift from @djangocon 2015, which was my FIRST #djangocon. I’ve used it almost every day for the last several years.
👀 I'm not sure when Vivaldi added this split-pane tiling window feature, but I love the hell out of it. There are a ton of options, but I have been blissfully using it for the last 3 to 4 weeks, and it's wonderful.
PSA: @djangocon had to move the conference up a few weeks to August 24th to the 28th because venues...
I hope to still see you there!
Gelato break during DjangoCon Europe 2026… in a place called Django in Athens🍦😄
Couldn’t not stop here.
Thinking of @mariatta , this feels very on brand for her conference selfies 😄
This trip to DjangoCon Europe in Athens wasn’t just a flight ✈️
I tried to turn it into a small “Django speaking tour”, a bit like the one I did in 2022.
Yesterday I was in Lecce for a Django talk and a walk through the city with the local community. This morning I reached Bari, had a quick lunch by the Adriatic sea with the Python Bari organizer, and then flew to Athens.
Same sea, different shore, same community.
Looking forward to meetings you all.😊
I'm planning to do a lightning ⚡ talk tonight - To JWT or not to JWT - why JSON Web Tokens might not be the one size that fits all (in my opinion)

It’s a timeline of all the posts I shared live during the conference, with photos and small moments along the way.
A simple way to relive the experience from start to sprints 🙂
In the 2nd Talk of the day - Andrew Northall taked about Caving (he really does that for fun!?) and how he collects and analyzes accident reports into structured data. One problem was the specificity of Data - he solved that by adding Treebeard to have a hierarchy of data that can be searched.
