Getting ready for #PyConDE

One thing I always do is to make sure I have Python, all libraries I usually use and my most used editors (PyCharm, Jupyterlab) updated and a local copy of *everything needed to set up a fresh PC offline.

(*documented here: https://github.com/mborus/requirements-txt)

I also start thinking about my "Wishlist" - which is a note of what topics to chat about on my phone. For example: Typst, Forgejo, Debugpy, Beeware on Android.

Are you coming? I highly recommend having a list like that.

I wanted to design a #pytest cheat sheet for a while, finally started last week to have it ready for #PyConDE.

I wanted to have a 6 page leaflet (A4 split into thirds), then hyperfocus kicked, and I ended up with a 40 page booklet instead! 🤯

I ordered 500 copies to my hotel, if all goes well they will arrive on Wed. Make sure to get yours, or I'll have to figure out a way to get 30kg home safely again 😅.
