Is it general artistic (human) desire to iterate (towards perfection/better), or are there other specific factors you're looking forward to revising?
(I personally look forward to a satire of the serial numbered MtG cards.)

Wooden tower about 2 feet tall with a hoe at the top and bottom. "Roll of Fate" carved and painted sign at the top, and an upside down horseshoe fastened to the front.

Got intrigued by an interesting wooden pedestal in a thrift store parking lot. I didn't recognize it as a dice tower until a closer look, and the image search thought it was a saddle holder.
I appreciate it, but the did not buy it.

A silver and a black technics 1970's(?) era turntables sitting on chairs. The silver does not have the head unit. There are are an orange and red 45 RPM adapters on the black, black and silver on the silver. The orange is 3d printed in the shape of a cat, the red is also 3d printed in the Technic's shape.

Out with the old, in with the old!
I have enjoyed the tactile experience of records since childhood. I don't have an audiophile ear.
Hat tip to Jamie for the awesome work and 3D 45 prints on this gunked up technics.

table with AdaFruit Boxes devices and their description cards underneath. Also includes a PyRuler circuit board, a MicroBit and BrownDog kit, peripheral devices and some spaCy stickers.

Had fun showcasing my @adafruit.com Boxes collection (and a bit more) at the Madison Python user group last night.
It was awesome to support Dave's spot-on intro to #CircuitPython talk. @madpy.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy

Black and white Border Collie looking dog with short hair and floppy ears that is actually mostly an Australian Shepherd and Cattle dog mix. She's laying down with front pay over a tennis ball, looking inquisitively past the camera.

Black and white puppy with white blaze through middle of the face. Laying down with a tuxedo cat in the background.

The #dog was actually a puppy 3 years ago...
It was hard to see the transition in the first two years.

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.

#dog just before my character was clobbered.

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

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!

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.
