WOAH! WAY TO GO!!!

Agreed. This talk is amazing, even for #Python developers.

I rewatch this gem every six months and continue to learn and grow from it.

I posted this last week, asking for #Python users to fill out a silly little survey.

I got quite a few responses! I can use this! It'll be hilarious! I can still use more answers, though. I hope with a few more responses I get more obvious standouts answers.

Wow. That's the same code I have on my suitcase. 😉

Informal Pointless Python Survey This is an informal, unscientific survey of (sort of) Python questions, with which I'd like to try to make something amusing, maybe something involving families feuding somehow. (I may have been inspi...

Use #Python at all? I would like to do a silly thing, which I hope will bring amusement to others as well as me (if it works out).

If you wouldn't mind, please fill out this form, and boost for reach:

I'm really proud of how this talk came out.

I spent two weeks on the code and a day on the talk. My development work sped up in the last couple of days when I adopted #dataStar.

I'm impressed! I will be defaulting to it over HTMX going forward.

Thanks to @davidism.bsky.social and the people behind the scenes, my talk "Death to the spinner: event sourcing for reactive web apps" is now available.

It shows how to create a reactive web experience with #eventSourcing and the #dataStar JS framework.

THAT'S AWESOME! LOL

Still not over how cool it is to fearlessly replay events in production. I do it all the time, and it just works.

It's true, but we have had success with remote speakers.

PyRVA would love to have you.

YouTube Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Exciting news!! The first batch of #PyConUS 2025 recordings is now available on the PyCon US YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/c/pyconus 🐍 📺

Stay tuned - more recordings will be added soon!

By popular demand, we’re having an event sourcing open space at 5, room 315 #PyConUS

Learnt about both "event sourcing" and the datastar framework from @_chrismay at #Flaskcon #PyconUS

Really intriguing way to track data as events, and stream event changes back. Still trying to wrap my head around it!

Looking forward to meeting you in person!

On Friday at 5:15, I'll be speaking about how #eventSourcing can make your app faster at #FlaskCon!

If the goal is to "cover all code—all branches", then that's testing from a certain point of view, what you might think of as "characterization" testing.

Super valuable, but if the code is actually wrong, and you want to ensure that it does what it _should_ do, that's a different goal.

Wow! It seemed you were on Firefox DevRel for so much longer. Time has sped up so much.

A little clip from a recent keynote I gave, featuring Refried 🎶

What if I _drive_ 30 miles before lunch?

The phrase ‘just deserts’ has only one S.

It has nothing to do with desserts 🧁or deserts 🏜️.

The word ‘desert’ is spelled like🏜️ and pronounced like🧁.

It's related to ‘deserve’ and means “reward or punishment deserved or earned by one’s qualities or acts.”

I'm getting signals to leverage AI to be more productive from people who don't code and don't understand why it's not that simple.

I've been told that writing software in the 80s was horrible, with managers pushing developers to work long days and hours to meet demands.

This is the space that gave birth to the agile movement.

I feel like we're heading towards this again.

Happy Perfect Date Day!

Where I am in the world it is truly "not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket"

I hope you all take this Friday to go on a perfect date, on the perfect date with your perfect date.

We’ll have to check their Planner Planners & Task Project Online Tasks To Do page.

It seems Microsoft's Microsoft Teams has changed the UI to remove the "Teams" tab.

I wonder what happened to the Microsoft "Microsoft Teams" Teams Team.

I'm meeting my internal goal to publish the fourth of five blog posts about my experience with event sourcing, vertical slice architecture, and event modeling. Enjoy it!

I appreciate what you brought to the subject matter. I meant that seeing your link reminded me that I've been meaning to write what I've been sharing in my teams.
