My #kiwipycon talk is on youtube now. I always hate watching recordings of my talks but I'm kinda happy enough with how it turned out to the extent that it feels like a confidence booster that I can use it as a spring board to build on for the next one.
@pyconau My first in-person #PyConAU in 5 years! (not my only PyCon in that time, though, since I snuck in a cheeky #KiwiPyCon in 2022)
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
Through my work on Beeware, Python 3.13 will officially support iOS and Android without any additional plugins. Whoo! @freakboy3742 #kiwipycon
At #KiwiPyCon this weekend. If you see me, say hi, and remember to ask any audience questions in the form of a question!
Slice of Heaven came up in my music player. This probably means I received an email from @kiwipycon
Hrmm.
The man who helped identify hundreds of my iNaturalist observations - including my very latest one, made of the bark of a Chinese Elm on the way to #kiwipycon - was sadly killed on Saturday, two hours after he helped me out. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/237526754#activity_comment_701b85c3-f7a0-4d6d-984b-0e721150afdc
Life is unbearably short. I am going to miss him on the platform immensely.
I never got to meet Stephen Thorpe. What an absolute loss.
