Well I finally went to #pycon and it exceeded expectations. It's been a long time since I've done the conference thing - the community overwhelmed me with its heart, and I've come away from it with a lot more optimism than I've had in a long time.

Of course I also had three wonderful runs and drank in the Very Not Sonoma County sights.

kinda ironic that Antarctica is the continent without a #pycon2026 when they're quite possibly the only continent where literally every living human uses Python šŸ˜…

Did you catch my #pycon2026 talk and want easy reference?

yesterday at PyCon was super fun and cool, decided to listen when they asked for volunteers and put myself out on a limb in a funny way. It all turned out for the very best. Story in thread

I gave this lightning talk today at PyCon US, on packaging up the re.sub function as a decorator (video will auto advance slides after 20 seconds). Python code at https://gist.github.com/ptmcg/b636425d646b8e6d9bf5acf7c9d53401 #python #pyconUS #pycon2026

Registered. Not signed up for tutorials today. Going to spend time hanging in the hallways now that I found a handy outlet to charge my laptop.

#pycon2026 #technomad travel day 18. Finished my 2000 mile drive to Long Beach.

(Spent lots of days on FFF, fun with family and friends. After all, if I’m going to drive this far, I should see folks.)
