Just watched this rather awesome talk by @glyph at #NBPY
It's been a while since I wrote any #python code, but this is as much a talk about communities, delivering on the promises we make to the people we invite into them, and recognizing new ways to adapt to our changing technology landscape.
And excavators. Worth watching.
If you missed my ‘From FinTech to Fin Tech’ talk at North Bay Python, here’s a blog post with the video
The slide everyone was talking about is at 06:27
And to anyone who lives on the west coast or can tolerate connecting through DFW or PHX, this is the better place to fly to #NBPy, even if the security does stop for a lunch break
@pathunstrom @itsthejoker gave a wonderful talk at #nbpy this year where that is one of the major takeaways. That and that you can redraw the line if you need to.
bad news: For the first time in a while, you're going to have to wait a full year between #NBPy events
Good news: WE'RE COMING BACK! April 25th and 26th, 2026, at our favorite ranch just south of Petaluma. See you there!

Taking the train to the car dealership (for reasons), it's always a great opportunity to snap a pic of the ranch and remember to start plotting next year's #NBPy
@crazy4pi314 I'm bringing Skull and The Game, both hits at North Bay Python this year. Hopefully I can make it to an open space or one of @treyhunner's game nights. #PyConUS #NBPy
To be clear, there are conferences I used to _organize_ that have moved mostly online and which for one reason or another I don't attend in their online form.
These are mostly conferences I was doing purely for fun, with no impact to my work.
But #PyCon is both my "home" conference (although #NBPy continues to give a run for money), and critical to both my career and side-projects.
