Are there any #PyConUS sprint stragglers up for an outdoor-seating dinner? Allergies + talking have left me a sore throat, so I avoided the CC today, but I've tested and am not a plaguebearer, so I'd love to have a drink and a bite with some nerds.

Also see #PyConUS mask policies.

(many caveats apply, especially once you take into account hearing disabilities and language barriers)

The worst thing about #PyConUS is that there is no way to spend the time I want to with all the people I'd want to spend time with, even if I didn't also meet fantastic NEW people all the time.

You heard it here: a PyCon cruise called Sea Python. Blame @jrrickerson for it. #PyConUS

Is there a separate #PyConUS discord for the sprints?

Next #PyConUS will, of course, be here in Pittsburgh. I'm stoked as hell to learn that in 2026 it'll be held in Long Beach, California, chaired by @elthenerd!

I can't wait to see all of my #python peeps there!

"You should be getting the same level of quality and security as you get in software you pay for."

Come on now, let's not set the bar THAT low! #PyConUS

I think the thesis of this part of the keynote is subtle but @brainwane miiiiiiiiight be nudging towards tech industry unionization. #PyConUS

“Six days to start something and then six years to find someone else to hand it to” is also the #WanderingShop story 😅

@brainwane is dropping a penny in her swear jar every time she says "sustainable" #PyConUS

@simon we talked in the hall at PyCon and you mentioned a local LLM model that fit into 8Gb of RAM; I forgot the name, though. Could you refresh my memory?

The conference WiFi at #PyConUS is sadly not robust enough to allow me to clone the cpython repository :(

@offby1 hey @Lorenanicole wants a ribbon #PyConUS

Just #PyConUS things: tooting exclusively with people who are no more than 6 seats away from me.

Conferences are so good for shared experiences 😂

Oh word? Cool. Cool cool cool.

I rarely miss @skimbrel more than when I'm at a PyCon keynote and they're not live-tooting it.

Ah, also, if you are following me this weekend, and are not interested in PyCon, I recommend muting the #PyConUS hashtag in your client; it's likely to get a bit noisy.

What a condemnation of whiteness in tech: “You go once, and you see it's not for you, and you go to Black spaces so you can see people like you"

This cannot be the future for us. #PyConUS

We've gotten better. A long way to go, though. #PyConUS

Did not expect #PyConUS to have more bass than #Eurovision, but here we are!

There's someone in the boarding area in Vibram Five fingers. Wanna bet they're on their way to #PyConUS ?

The Synology ecosystem is such a weird and wonderful little parallel universe. You just buy a server computer for your home and then you run commercial software on it which links up with apps on your devices and web frontends. It is all really charming and kind of baffling that it manages to exist, given what must be a tremendous uphill battle that they face against free or close-to-it ad-supported cloud products

So far, #Hades2 has maybe double the number of “systems” at play as Hades, and I actually think that’s a good thing.

It’s really making me think about multi-layered builds for each run, in a way that I didn’t for the first, and means that each run accomplishes some sub-objective of the build, even if the main one isn’t met.
