I've been meaning to do this self-reflection on my business for the last couple weeks. Turns out having a few hours alone on a plane without the internet does wonders for my writing productivity.

A self check-in on the mentorship business

Three months in, seven clients, and a few things I'd do differently. What's working, what's challenging, and what's just plain frustrating in my Django mentorship business.

Hey, #Django devs who deploy (or used to deploy) stuff to #Heroku — are you looking at moving to some other #PaaS? If so, where to? Is there a standard, boring, dependable option that folks are gravitating toward?

"I just want to say that people who are experienced, who have been contributing to Django or people who are maintaining any 3rd party package, must consider mentoring through GSoC or Djangonaut Space program. It is one of the most impactful way to contribute to open source in my opinion because you are not just guiding a few people, you might be guiding the next generation of mentors, Django maintainers, org admins, community leaders or Djangonaut Space organizers."

I wrote an essay about what agents need at their foundation in order to enable to the possibility of securely designed tool delegation. It’s easy to be insecure. What would it take to be secure?

I know I sound like a broken record here, but every time I go to a conference and volunteer, I end up having such a great time meeting people that I put in more hours than I originally intended. When I was last at a registration desk, I got to meet tons of community members and chat with folks who I knew in passing and finally got to have proper conversations with. What keeps you coming back to volunteer at events? What are your favorite roles (and why)?

Last month I had a 20 day perfect solve streak for the NYT connections game. I haven't strung two in a row since. Hopefully today is the start of 21 in a row.
