I've confirmed a Python Software Foundation Member. Basic status.
I am curious how people display this on their Resume/CV or LinkedIn account, and if it matters.
I do plan on adding my past PyCon volunteering information, and a financial contribution to the PSF.

Whether or not, they are going to...

Black and white dog resting his chin on the character sheet on the table. Questioning look.

If Apple is investing $600B in US manufacturing, are they bringing with it an professional cultural revolution akin to "The Apple Way" meets "The Toyota Way" high-fiving "The HP Way." Which of these three is the wing-man? #lean #apple

You probably shouldn't start humming "Carry On My Wayward Son" during Sprint Planning. #scrum #agile

Android news figured out my clickbait: GitHub repository links as if they were news articles.
I wonder if they did Ab tests on including parts of the readme in the link and found that readme tldrs reduced engagement.

Which scares you more, the Necronomicon or Panopticon?

Medium size black and white dog sitting on a porch behind a metal lattice fence gate. Her head is slightly tilted and eats are alert with one slightly askew. There is an empty lounge chair behind her and a white porch fence behind that. Green leaf tree branches hang down and a white field leads to a house in the background.

I love driving home to this.

Orange and white cat sitting behind a D&D game master screen, peering over the top. On the table is a pencil and paper with sketches of a map and a scattering of dice. There is a board game shelf behind everything.

Black and white dog prancing across the grass then rolling to a stop and looking to the side.

"Roll for initiative."
"R'Okay!"

In Junior High I worried that wearing about wrong color shirt on the wrong day, now I catch myself checking if acomment will humble brag, dog whistle, or signal virtue!

1. Just another social media post

My vote is #3. It's sitting right alongside your professional intentions.

I have questions. I have thoughts. I like to have a public place to ask and explore them.
I do expect to ask "should I" before articulating.
I don't expect I need to vet the originality or validity of them.
I reserve the right to delete posts.
I will try to acknowledge edits when updating posts

For #observability systems, do you differentiate. "is it safe?" from "is it in danger?"
This might be a simple as a Yellow vs. Orange/Red status.
Thinking about a kid with a tempurate at 100 vs 104 (Are they safe? vs. Do we need to seek help)

How do you break out of "I see dysfunction everywhere*" mode? *and I have /ideas/.
I expect there are pointed focus steps to balancing the desire for inspiration to not only fix, but to build/create.

Card game named Krypto. Subtitles: Fun to play, mind stimulating, family arithmetic game, easy to learn. For all ages 1 to 16 players.

@oreilly.bsky.social I noticed Tx profile handles on the OReilly user profile page. Please remove it, or upgrade it to a reasonable platform.
