My first visit to a real @Google office since joining!
Visited @googlefiber in Salt Lake City! Thanks Bill Yoshimi for taking me along for a tour! Now I feel like a real Googler 😄 The office just opened in January, and it looks very cozy!
There's a room with a message chair so yes I made use of it 💆‍♀️

They will tell us what PSF Diversity and Inclusion Work Group is all about. #PyConUS2022 D&I WG Panel:

It was created, there were 4 open seats for PSF Board of Directors.

Yet all 4 four elected were North Americans.

#PyConUS2022 @jessejiryudavis Why should async get all the love?
Advanced control flow with thread.

Asyncio is really hip. Also twisted, tornado, curio and trio. They're all super cool. #PyConUS2022 @jessejiryudavis In all these excitements, there was a message that was lost.
All of this was already with threads.

Currently attending #PyConUS2022 @pyblogsal on Making Python better one error message at a time.
(Not sure i'll be able to live-tweet but will try. Pablo speaks very fast!) #PyConUS2022 @pyblogsal Syntax errors are important. They impact developer time.

Pablo shows several examples of SyntaxErrors prior to Python 3.9 that weren't helpful. The error simply says "invalid syntax", when the real problems are things like not closing "}" or ")"

#PyConUS2022 @pwang Keynote: Announcing Py-script!!!
It's Python! inside HTML!!! 🤯 @pwang #PyConUS2022 @pwang Keynote

And asyncio! And blink tag! 🤯
No webserver needed! It's HTML!
It's actual CPython compiler into WASM.

#PyConUS2022 @SaraIssaoun Keynote
Remember the famous of the black hole? It was a result of collaboration.
Didn't expect it to end up on front pages. Also didn't expect people to be making lots of memes of it. #PyConUS2022 during the keynote @SaraIssaoun shows a really cool animation of the galaxy and zooming in until we see the black hole. You should watch the recording for it.

Some thoughts re: online/remote Python language summit vs in person (50 people):
- the Chat feature within the video conferencing app allows for more asynchronous discussions and Q&A, I think more people get to comment and share their thoughts this way - I actually find the discussions during in-person summit to be quite unstructured and a little bit more "chaotic", I've seen people got interrupted and cut off, multiple people talking at the same time.. But maybe it was our poor job for not moderating it better
😥💦

Your talk proposal is not a movie trailer. Trailer is just a tease, and people has to come watch the show to find out more.
Can't do that to talk proposals.
You've got to give reviewers the whole plot: the intro, the conflict, the climax, the conclusion, all of it. (1/8) I've been reviewing proposals and I found many are just teasers.
There would be several paragraphs of problem statement of something to solve, and then ends with: "In this talk, I'll show you how to solve those".
Don't leave us hanging! Tell us how! Elaborate! Convince us! (2/8)

Trying not to do any community engagement this month, but this is such high priority, and I can't stay silent.
I'm so utterly heartbroken and disappointed to find out that there is a PyCon someplace 2018, and that it has 22 all male speaker lineup. This is the second occurrence this year. The first one was in February at other PyCon anotherplace. After I reached out to the organizers privately, they added two women speakers last minute.
