Fool me once: Dune part 1
Fool me twice: Dune part 2
Actually, I guess I’ve been fooled 3 times. The first being in ‘84
Just not into this.
And where do they grow food there? Don’t tell me. I don’t care.

Nice day for a quick rest in a field

We spread garden compost last year, and now these little guys are growing all over the garden. So cute. Anyone know what variety they are?

You know that Parks and Rec episode where there’s an Easter egg hunt and the kids can’t find any eggs, because there aren’t any.
For #PyConUS this year, #PyCon is the park, and I’m one of the eggs.
Enjoy PyCon and talk with lots of people, but don’t look for me. :)

I’m listening to “Company of One” by Paul Jarvis.
Chapter 5 is about mindset.
The discussion about passion is worth the price of the book tenfold, and should be required content for students, new grads, new hires, and really everyone.

I think I could be considered a founder.
I lost my cat once, but I founder.

Really fun talk with @nicole about testing, code coverage, and tradeoffs. https://fosstodon.org/@pythontest/112293652780138865

Just tried a Boba milk tea from Jack in the Box. That’s probably enough of a description to completely explain the experience.

If you haven’t watched this dance to “somebody I used to know” yet, stop what you’re doing and watch it. It made me happy and it’s so cool. https://youtu.be/REPPgPcw4hk?si=FqRWbQLpg5yZKNhf

It’s nice when you’re kids are old enough that you can stop pretending to be offended by swearing.

I hope the rise of AI assisted coding doesn’t result in a downward slide of writing quality in API docs.
If I’m writing docs for people, I’ll take more time. If it’s primarily for AIs to read, why bother? Or maybe ask AIs to write the docs. Or just, let them read the code. Will API documentation disappear?

This reminds me, I haven’t mentioned this in a while… Oregon is too rainy and depressing, if you are unhappy with where you are, you should probably move to, um, maybe Montana or Utah or Colorado. Don’t go farther west, it sucks over here. ;) https://mas.to/@SmudgeTheInsultCat/112137205921319041

I think “Super Tuesday” is a stretch. It didn’t feel super.

Balancing side hustle(s) with work, family, health is tough when I actually really love my work, family, health.

In our family, loyalty is huge.
We’re also quite fond of Earl Grey

Figures. Absolutely first thing I try with @charliermarsh and Astral’s uv is uv venv --prompt ..
Doh! --prompt not supported. (Hopefully just not supported yet).
I swear, I should have been a test engineer.
