Gotta say it again, "I Will Survive” cover by Cake is one of the 30 songs in my Top 5.

@pamelafox@fosstodon.org “As for another difference? “My personal blog has better security than some $100 million mining projects.”
This wasn’t going to be a waste of time, after all.”
And neither are these links. Thanks for sharing.
The latest OpenAI and Anthropic models have a training cutoff day that includes Python 3.14...hooray for t-strings!

@inthehands @blogdiva It reminds me of a "back in the day" story I read about Oracle sales folks opening a P.O. box, booking fake deals, getting their quarterly bonus, and leaving.
Can't say the story is true. But the shoe fits.

@hynek@mastodon.social People that pursue excellence might find themselves in the catbird's seat. (what a weird expression.)
I've seen this mentioned in many place.

@simon Cool that you're hosting the AI track talks, thanks for doing that. Two talks on there that I can't wait for.
Replying to
@reflex@retrogaming.social @sotolf@polymaths.social @anildash@me.dm A genuine question…if the only AI they offered was a local/open model, only available via the browser, and only for specific tasks, what percentage of your concern would that address?
(Personally, I view local, open, private, task-specific AI as the best way to fight the oligarchs.)
If all this anti-engineering and anti-engineers from the megacorps and mega-layoffs has you down, “The Third Golden Age of Software Engineering" from @gradybooch@sigmoid.social is an antidote.
Genuinely interesting, genuinely hopeful. Genuinely recommended.

@markwalker @django Adding in @judy2k
Docker? Never heard of it. 😈 Maybe record a quick video (if you can) of your screen when you run into your problem with run configs.
It's almost like we need to ship some skills for run configs, amirite?

@veldakiara Look, it's a shoutout to @edzitron ... I'm a paid subscriber and one of the few dorks that reads to the end.

@trishagee@mastodon.social Thanks for the honest blog post, sorry about how the last year has gone down and the ending point. And thanks for surfacing that tension in developer advocacy: have forward looking thought leadership…that ties back to the product. 😉
Congrats to @HelenJoScott@mastodon.social and you for today's epic achievement!

@buckfiftyseven @simon Agree, I took a LOT of notes, some really good thought directions.
Replying to
@davidism I really enjoyed all the talks, hanging out with @davidism and especially the accessibility and testing chats with @pamelafox who taught me a lot.
I hope we can grow FlaskCon into a home for Python webdev at PyCon.
Replying to
@mahryekuh You are correct. Actually, I hated it, because every section activated me, followed by guilt that I won’t do any of that activation.
Loved this part, matched what you explained to me at lunch: “But if you think that you should label everything to achieve maximum clarity, that is where the previous section rears its head.”
I was falling into that trap.

@brettcannon @mariatta @mitsuhiko So much fun being there with both of you. Watching that clip with everybody in the room, socially watching, then us all talking about it...neat experience.

@georgically @jetbrains @sleepypioneer @cheukting_ho @t_redactyl @wsvincent yeh that video is inspired. Kudos to Kirill Malich for voiceover and the team

@slightlyoff @mnot @pluralistic A Popper reference! (I led a knowledge base project for Open Society Institute for a good number of years.)
Another: talking to @antocuni@mastodon.social about SPy. 3 reasons: I learned it isn't only targeted at WASM. (I will keep a secret about one of the targets.) 2: He showed me a mobile phone demo of SPy in a web page, doing stuff with a live video feed that shouldn't have bee possibly.
Last: he listened to my insane idea about SQLite extension functions in "Python”.
Replying to
@zachleat And it's pretty smart about only re-running the tests for the changes you made. Even when running under debugger, it's almost as fast as I type.
Replying to
@kateholterhoff @wesley83 @redmonk I got to meet Wesley at DjangoCon. Really interested to hear this episode, thanks for doing this.
Replying to
@hynek@mastodon.social As someone that does a lot of this video stuff, I can spot tons of cool things that you did. Very, very well done.
Replying to
@hynek@mastodon.social I think Hynek trolled @chrism@chattingdarkly.org @tseaver@chattingdarkly.org and me:
Replying to
@trishagee@mastodon.social Thanks for sharing that, some real gems in there. Near the end it touches on what I believe is called Jevons Paradox, which I only know because of the so-called AI layoffs.
Replying to
@t_redactyl I've been through the first part, but I reeeeeeaaaaallllly need to get all the way through all of it. It's one of those moments where, if I'll just slow down and properly learn, I can speed up.
Replying to
@markwalker @django Thanks Mark! We have some fun stuff coming out in the next few weeks. Keep an eye out. (I'm doing a video on one of the things.)
Replying to
@pamelafox@fosstodon.org How can I take time off on vacation if you continue doing the exact things I'm interested in?
Replying to
@sarahboyce Thanks buddy! My talk has morphed into a group chat with @willingc and Georgi on this topic.
I want to do a lot of listening this year, find out what the Python community thinks on this topic: “was" (how did we get here), "is” (what exactly here means), and "will be" (what are we going to do about it.)
Replying to
@markwalker @django @judy2k Ahhh, that's good news, thanks Mark for letting us know. Sorry there was some friction.
Hey @b_smoke@birdsite.lakedrops.com this looks fabulous:
Replying to
@paulox@fosstodon.org @pypodcats@fosstodon.org That's a lot of fun, kudos on the trailer.
