Plopped a meta little thing into my #zsh config tree which was recommended at the #PyConUS dotfiles BoF ✨

(the idea as described was obviously shell-agnostic, in my case today it was a nice excuse to remember exactly how compdef + its helpers work…)

# Edit-then-source for zsh rc files, because forgetting to source stinks!
function modify() {
target=~/.zsh/$1
vim $target && source $target
}
compdef "_files -W ~/.zsh/" modify

Another #PyConUS video that I care about, the #Python Steering Council keynote. I wasn't on stage this year! because I'm no longer on the SC 😂 but they did cover something I care about a lot: Free-threaded Python #PEP703

I've been pestering the SC a lot to say something about the state of it in 3.14, and boy, did they indulge me. Six and a half minutes of the 30 minute keynote is about the efforts to remove the GIL.

More #PyConUS videos are up, including my _absolute favourite moment_ of the conference: Van Lindberg and @ejodlowska picking up their _tremendously_ deserved Distinguished Service Awards, *in person*. (I hadn't seen either in a few years, it was very emotional.)

They are both pinnacles of the Python community and set extraordinary, practically unattainable examples for the rest of us. I'm glad we got to cheer for them. (It was LOUD, so loud alarms went off!)
