@CindyWeinstein Thanks for the follow. Looking forward to checking your book out. Mom's last hardship was a non-alz version of dementia. Took her words and locomotion, it was tough. She was too.
Also, Happy dog picture. :D

Looking for good articles/resources on facilitating a discussion on balancing a shared feeling of progress with a sense of urgency.

It's really necessary for people to understand that it's literally never about DEI, CRT, children, immigration, the Civil War, abortion, decorum, taxes, state rights or even "the economy".

It never is, so it's completely useless and often actually detrimental to try to "discuss" these topics.

It's always about emotions and worldviews about power, white superiority, racism, misogynism and ultimately controlling other people.

Yesterday I found the Python Morsel's article on any() and all() very useful: https://www.pythonmorsels.com/any-and-all
Today I noticed it again in the newsletter talking about De Morgan's law

I knew the #Python discord was top-notch, but I wasn't aware they had a web site guide: https://www.pythondiscord.com/resources/

Really enjoyed the @brianokken's Testing and Code podcast's "Testing argparse Applications" https://testandcode.com/episodes/209-testing-argparse-applications
Glad to also learn about shlex https://docs.python.org/3/library/shlex.html and CLIRunner https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/8.1.x/testing/

The person, wearing a Pennywise-style outfit, uploaded a video to Facebook in response to news reports they have left Skelmorlie locals "terrified".

This is cool stuff, and wondering where it fits in Anaconda's ecosystem. https://www.anaconda.com/blog/anaconda-empowers-education-with-new-edublocks-release-featuring-classrooms-mobile-support-and-more
Wondering if it's been covered on TeachingPython podcast, cc: @smtibor

Looking for examples (not principles, not general discussion, but concrete examples) of metrics/evaluation criteria used for software engineering teams working on internal-facing projects. Thanks in advance for pointers.
