"not everything needs to scale" is why nbpy continues to work at sub-100 attendees
I am just so glad that @amcasari@hachyderm.io ended up adjacent to the Python community. What an absolutely necessary keynote. #PyConUS
RE: @danlyke@researchbuzz.masto.host
This talk is about maths, queer subcultures, gender roles, henry ford, and so many more things than implied by just the title. Yes, one of the most #NBPy talks at this year's #NBPy.
For the time being, we're leaving behind a venue that's been so kind to us, and I'm definitely a little bit sad about that. But #NBPy gives me hope, and fills me for the coming year. So, see you all next year, in a different building, but still in the best little town, with the best community in tech. Thank you all! 💙💚
And I also gave a talk aboout #NBPy built around a paper from the mid-1980s. What is "the truth" or "correct" in programming? Very little. And that means we need to properly understand what it is that we do and what we make. https://youtu.be/d7AeWFbOTHg
I see that by @glyph@mastodon.social not speaking this year, he's getting a heckle-mention in half the talks. Let this be a lesson, or something. 🤔 #NBPy

Did you know that the PSF has to pay for most of the hotel rooms reserved around #PyConUS if attendees don't book them?
You can help #PyConUS be just a tiny bit more of a success by booking a hotel oom through our official channels!

My dear @robin@social.riley.pub is running a fundraiser for transition-related medical expenses that we'd really prefer to not have to defer.
Current goal is the cost of the very specific health insurance we need to maintain. That alone would be an amazing result.
Buy/claim a ticket and see me talk!
