Nothing like wake up call via Tornado Warning

Update: Everyone is okay. Sounds like my oldest’s high school sustained some damage (good thing school ended last week). Local kids and friends accounted for. Creeks are high, so flooding is a concern.

Now checking in on friends further east.

@diji I'm glad people are okay, that's so scary!

Alright, flights and hotel booked for #PyOhio2024, no turning back now!

@diji see you there

Survived the trip home from #PyConUS , 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.

@diji I know a little German.

He's over there!

@diji “Is he all right?” “Oh, he’s just a little horse.”

Such an under-appreciated gem of a movie.

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?!?

@diji That’s more or less what happened to me in 2005, and I haven’t regretted it yet. :-)

OH after : “We DDOS’d the Thai restaurant.”

@starshaped @diji I was considering going there Friday. How did you like it?

starshaped,
@starshaped@labyrinth.social avatar

@djotaku @diji I went there when I was in Pittsburgh for a conference last year and it was so good! A cozy space that fits decent sized groups, too.

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

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

@diji @simon Corollary : "Do not do magic that you do 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.

diji,
@diji@mastodon.social avatar

@starshaped Probably. At The Standard now.

@starshaped@labyrinth.social avatar

@diji Yessss, that place is great! It's great for large groups of people, too.

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:

@diji Have fun!

Well, it looks like I’m going to

@diji Congrats!! 🎉

The #PyTexas virtual meetup is coming up in less than 2 weeks!

Come watch me get opinionated about things like #python code style and code design, and talk about how we can make our code readable, understandable, and predictable to the lucky souls who might get to use or maintain it.

Let's do it!

My least favorite game of whack-a-mole every year… trying to get my car’s State Inspection done.

Now I get to call all around town and find somewhere that can do it, and hope it aligns with my work schedule.

diji,
@diji@mastodon.social avatar

@starshaped Possibly. I get to call around every year to find out who has a guy, who’s in, and not backed up with other customers that can do it.

starshaped,
@starshaped@labyrinth.social avatar

@diji Is it that an individual needs to be certified and not the whole shop? My brother in law has been going to the same shop for years to get his cars inspected and it’s never been an issue, probably because the entire shop is certified. I’m sorry it’s such a pain there!

Looks like I have a speaking gig coming up. Going to get opinionated and talk about best practices of writing code for other people to use.

Anyone have strong opinions on this topic? What are some of your opinions or pet peeves?

_chrismay,
@_chrismay@fosstodon.org avatar

@diji when you say “writing code for other people to use,” do you mean maintain (like coworkers) or consume (like libraries)?

diji,
@diji@mastodon.social avatar

@_chrismay Yes! (All of the above)

If we’re at trivia, and the category is sports, just choose the opposite of whatever I say. I’m likely wrong.

@diji Saaaaame.
