#pycascades

Just got my swag pack for @pycascades 2023, which I attended online.

Not pictured is a tote bag that was included in the package.

#PyCascades

Last month, I disassembled the Zen of Python for #PyCascades attendees in Vancouver. Now you can watch the video, and learn how to automatically win any #Python style argument you might get into.

ENJOY

I unravelled the `del` statement in #Python : https://snarky.ca/unravelling-del/

This should be the last update to my syntactic sugar blog series since no one had any other suggestions after my talk at #pycascades At least my #PyCon US talk will be a bit more accurate. 😁

I just published a blog where I unravel the `global` statement for #Python : https://snarky.ca/unravelling-global/

And with that I just made my #PyCascades last weekend out of date. 😅

I had a good time yesterday at the #PyCascades remote sprints. It didn't go as I thought it might, but it was good! We fixed a few onboarding issues with coverage.py:

Somehow it's here... #PyCascades 2023 is over 😭 it's been such a lovely time hearing talks, chatting about python, working on open source, and being surrounded by an amazing community 💖 see you all next time 🐍 💜 🏔️

Thanks to some advice I got at #PyCascades, I have finally sorted out my Nexus card issues post-naturalization. https://offby1.website/posts/updating-your-nexus-enrollment-after-naturalizing-as-a-us-citizen.html

Unwinding after a wonderful weekend at #pycascades! I caught up with old friends, I learned things, and met some excellent new people. Can't wait to see you all at the next one!

Many thanks to the organizers, volunteers, speakers, and everyone who makes #PyCascades one of the most welcoming and inclusive conferences that I’ve ever attended. I look forward to it every year, making new friends on each visit, and you’re all so amazing!💜

And thank you for continuing to enforce masking and vaccinations, so that we can all be safe together.

I can’t wait to see you all again in Seattle! ✌️

My lightning talk at
@pycascades yesterday: What is @pycon and why you should come.
Our registration is still open and would love for you all to join us this year for 20 years anniversary.

Thanks and congrats @pycascades for a successful conference! 👏🏻

Thanks to the friendly and inclusive environment, my sons (now 12 and 10) were able to join and learn from the best during the conference.

#PyCascades

not-so-secret bonus to sprints day: free bonus swag (we always order a little extra so we're prepared to fix mistakes) #pycascades #PyCascades2023

There is one respect where, despite being a small single-track two-day conference, #PyCascades accurately replicates the experience of the full #PyCon: some nights, you hit 9:30 and you are just. fucking. done.

Laying down in the bed in my BNB (not *air*, the old-style) and putting my feet up felt ahMAYzing.

Spent the weekend at PyCascades. Great talks, amazing vibes, all round excellent job by the organizers ✨ :python_logo:

#PyCascades

This weekend I attended my first #PyCascades and I cannot recommend it enough. Great talks, nice venue and I got the chance to meet awesome folks that also love Python 🐍❤️

I even got the chance to give a lightning talk about Pooch🐶. You can checkout my slides here: https://www.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.22300822

Dinner with some new PyCascades friends. Forgive the blurry photo, we may have had some delicious sake and dumplings 😋 #PyCascades

The #chiptune music being played at @pycascades has been on fire all weekend!

Between a version of the Trololol song, there has been some really good PC DOS-era game music.

#PyCascades

Thanks to 4 years of the conference that changed the trajectory of my life 💖#PyCascades

@pycascades can you make sure talks don't start early? It's kinda awkward to walk in 3 mins early and finding a talk has already started and there's no seats readily available. #pycascades

Here are the slides from my lightning talk at PyCascades about PyCon US

Who's ready for #pycascades day 2? 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️

Thanks @pycascades for accepting my lightning talk! 🎙️💁‍♀️⚡
Gonna be talking about PyCon US tomorrow morning!✌️

New bragging right! Managed to get an autographed copy of @crazy4pi314's book at @pycascades 🤩 The book is "Robotics for Babies" @crazy4pi314 (and a selfie with her in person!)

A slide from @crazy4pi314’s #pycascades Dev Containers talk. Microsoft leverages Cloud + GitHub + Visual Studio to share your dev env, and to make some execs jealous!

Super excited to see f-string with uppercased F at PyCascades talk by Adarsh Divakaran 🤩💯

Two hours until my #pycascades talk. Great time to go be a hermit in the green room.

Using the #PyCascades lunch break to do my weekly #WaitWaitDontTellMe listen, note taking and data entry stuff

Steamworks was the closest lunch place to the #pycascades

If you’re into #Python and want something to watch on a Saturday, @pycascades is live https://www.youtube.com/live/c_kAvhsQKJg?feature=share

I know this is meant to be a metaphor, but I am sure every transportation planner is outraged by the amount of data they could be getting and don't. #pycascades

Who’s at the #pycascades 2023?

METAPHORS!

It's a relief that he kept loops available to you. Not sure what you'd do if he didn't. #pycascades
@brettcannon

“At the C level, all objects are basically a giant struct. You can think of it like a dataclass"

I think @brettcannon just put my brain into an loop. #PyCascades

Let's go #PyCascades

Hello #pycascades! It's the first day of the conference, and I'm not speaking until the absolute very end of the day. I'm sure this will end well.

Is there a discord or something for #PyCascades ?

Packing for @pycascades. Done. 🧳✅
#PyCascades

Excited for #PyCascades this weekend! I'm volunteering at the check-in desk at the social on Friday (today), and I'll be around in-person on Sat & Sun.

Selfies, with and without the mask I'll be wearing at the con

Beautiful weather again today in Vancouver, I picked some good days to be a tourist. Glad I brought some gloves though. #Vancouver #PyCascades

Spent today riding the False Creek Ferry. Stopped at Granville Island Public Market, then the Maritime Museum. Walked through Chinatown on the way back and got some dumplings. Now a little rest before the social tonight. #Vancouver #PyCascades

#pycascades, here I come!

My partner (who isn't coming, but better-safe-than-sorry) and I both tested ourselves for #COVID19 before I leave for #PyCascades tomorrow. We're both non-positive.

Here's a QR code that takes you to PyCon US website, just in case anybody need it for any reason.

Me, I'm hoping PyCascades will select my lightning talk about PyCon US so I can use it on my slides 😉

#PyConUS #PyCascades

Walked 6.3 miles along the Vancouver seawall and through Stanley Park. Beautiful day out #Vancouver #PyCascades

Community leaders in Python continue to set the bar for the rest of the tech industry in so many respects 🏆

I salute and thank the organizers of #PyConAU and #KiwiPyCon for taking the @phpledge and committing to safer and more inclusive events 😷

I hear #PyConUS is also going to be exemplary. I also like what I see of #PyConIT and #PyCascades, and we'll be stepping it up for #NBPy as well. These events prove that it's possible to convene in reasonable safety at many different scales. #PHPledge

#introduction time! I'm a #pansexual #lesbian #trans woman living with my wife in the Salish Sea area.

I help run a bunch of community tech projects with @mpuckett259 (https://tech-bloc-sea.dev), I'm an organizer for #PyCascades (https://pycascades.com), I'm a sponsored maintainer of the #Openverse project (https://wp.org/openverse), and I'm just generally a huge nerd for open source 💖

I love baking, my dog & cats, video gaymes, and being a stereotypical trans girl. 🏳️‍⚧️
