Two years ago, at #KiwiPyCon, I gave an hour-long talk that aimed to show how #Python's design decisions as a piece of technology shaped the governance that's grown up around our community, making Python the massively successful tool it is.
It's one of the best pieces of writing I've done.
I'm thinking a lot about that message today, and how a lot of our community would do well to reflect on it. Watch it, share it. It's worth it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCgzTWrwzxs

Hrmm.
Home time! Thanks for a wonderful weekend, #KiwiPyCon!
