PyCon US 2025

Sharif Naas (31)

Yesterday I met the mother of an autistic trans woman who is a recent computer science graduate here in Pittsburgh. Daughter is looking for a job and would love to get in touch digitally with some people at who could provide support.

I mentioned @pyladies as one resource, but it would be great to put her directly in touch with some local and/or currently-in-town Pythonistas that she could relate to.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I can put people in touch.

My phone is warning me that a Tile tracker might be tracking me. It's a false positive, but I noticed that the tracker was first seen the evening of the first day of North Bay Python 2025. 👋

Flight got delayed due to a sensor issue. Ended up deplaning. Got rebooked to a direct flight on another carrier. Waiting for that now, and it'll arrive in Pittsburgh an hour later than originally expected, which means rush hour apparently, which pushes an appointment I had to tomorrow morning, which means one less hour of PyCon. Sigh. Hopefully that's the worst thing that happens on this trip. Now, where should I spend my meal vouchers...
