Thanks @samdoran 🙂 really happy you appreciated that metaphor and the slide from the talk.

It felt like a simple way to visualize how these tools can subtly change both code and perception.

One of the things I enjoy the most at conferences like PyCon US is exactly this atmosphere around the hallway track.

So many spontaneous conversations, shared experiences, community stories, and people genuinely interested in collaborating and helping each other 🙂

It was really nice to receive so many thoughtful reactions and continue the discussion in a much more informal way during the rest of the day ✨

I also met old friends, speakers, maintainers, and many people I usually only know from online communities 📸

After my talk this morning, I spent most of the afternoon in the hallway track talking with many people from the community 🙂

A lot of conversations started directly from the topics discussed during the session.

Thanks @SnoopJ for sharing the photo and for capturing that moment from the talk 🙂✨

That slide about the fragile foundations of modern infrastructure still feels incredibly relevant today.

As for sleep… currently somewhere between jet lag and conference adrenaline 😴✨

Thanks @kevin 😃 really appreciated the live thread and the thoughtful coverage of the talk.

I’m very happy you enjoyed both the discussion around AI-assisted contributions and also the final reference to Django on the Med ✨

This morning at PyCon US 2026 I presented my talk about AI-assisted contributions and maintainer load 🎤

Thanks to everyone who joined the session. It was a really great experience, and I had many interesting conversations afterwards.

Also thanks to @simon for hosting the AI track, the first one at PyCon US ✨

I’ve already uploaded the slides to my personal website for anyone who couldn’t attend the talk.

Did anyone take a photo of Deb Nicholson pineapple pizza slide? 🍍🍕

As an Italian, I was too shocked to react quickly enough and capture it myself 😭
