@baconandcoconut on turning down $1.5M from the US gov: "We're definitely doing DEI over here, just so you know"
#PyConUS
"Do people like gruel? No. Okay. How about mining on a dusty planet for someone with tentacles?"
@baconandcoconut commenting on navigating capitalism tech as a community
Thomas Wouters on Rust in CPython:
"It's going to be a multi-year project even to decide not to do it"
Free-threading becomes default optimistically before Python 3.20, but who knows?
#PyConUS
The Steering Council will be filling the open dev-in-residence role, and there's room for growth (...if the money shows up, but doesn't HAVE to be a single sponsor)
"When people feel welcome to show up as their whole selves, they take bigger swings, they ask bigger questions, and they keep showing up"
Lots to learn from the #PyConUS closing keynote about the Djangonaut Space mentoring program. Making space for people and making them aware there *is* space for them to be authentically themselves is so important!
Thrilled that @pathunstrom is giving a talk on CSS to update my knowledge over 20 years of "I have not bothered to learn this" progress
Name-dropping the Old Magicks (GeoCities, Neopets, LiveJournal), and a moment to refer to "On Contempt Culture", since CSS and Python are surely no strangers to the contempt described by that talk
Bit of time at the end of talk. Show of hands for Q&A now vs. a review of how the cyclic GC works.
"Okay that was unanimous" in favor of the GC
