Always love seeing the Pac-Man Rule spreading around the Python community. It was in the opening intro at #PyconUS!

hey friends if you are at #PyConUS we semi desperately need volunteers so it would be super cool of you to step up 💞 https://us.pycon.org/2025/volunteer/volunteering/
Really feeling for Amanda from @whitecoatcaptioning, our wonderful captioner, who has to type out all of these variations of "enshit-" in the middle of this breathless talk from @pluralistic. AMAZING JOB.

"Musk-addled libertarians whose copy of Atlas Shrugged no longer opens because the pages are stuck together"
LOL
And now @pluralistic is encouraging tech workers to unionize! Hallelujah!
