Survived the trip home from , got hugs from my kids, setup my new computer, and then collapsed in my bed.

Today is all about recovery, errands, and self care. Laundry, grocery shopping, and rotting on the couch.

So, to kick all of that off, I’m watching Top Secret!, as one does.

I slept in for the first time during #PyConUS today, but now I'm ready to start sprinting on...

...ooof. Not only do I have a ton of existing projects, but I've learned of so many new things this weekend at the conference that I want to dive into too.

@AlSweigart After talking to so many people, I’ve decided to start playing with LLMs. I’m still highly skeptical, but tribal pressure has convinced me to give it a shot.

That’s to @mariatta and the rest of the staff for making my first #PyConUS so damned magical. Now I’m gonna have to come every year, aren’t I?!?

@simon has just explained at a rule that I have, that can be summed up as:

“Do not do magic that you do not understand.”

@dabeaz @simon Hah! At the end of the day, none of it is magic, but I suppose both lines still work.

I have priorities.

First, I find food and beer. :check:

Second, I find the #PyConUS registration desk and my friends.

@starshaped Probably. At The Standard now.

We don't say "congratulations" when someone becomes an open source maintainer.

Instead we say, "Congratulations, thank you, and sorry"

@mariatta At least you get “thank you” and “sorry”. In corporate, you just get “are you done yet”.

The #Kubernetes #Python library is over here making lists not iterable and harming my sanity this morning.

@vwbusguy Well, that’s not very pythonic…

This got bigger than I expected on LinkedIn, so I figured I'd repost it here.

Well, since it’s now public knowledge, my time at my current gig is ending soon. More details on my next challenge will be coming soon.

In the meantime, I have a lot of people to say “thank you” and “so long” to. Who knew that in 9 years, I’d make so many good friends? Here’s a few things I learned in my first 9 years of software and test automation development:

    @AlSweigart I strongly doubt that’s the case. As someone with improv training, I recognize another improviser when I see one.
