Thanks for a great conference @pytexas.org
I had fun. All the talks are really good, I learned many new things.
Closing it with an #IceCreamSelfie with @willingc.bsky.social , @dane.dev, and @bajoran.engineer
At Yummi Joy. I had the Pandan and Squid Ink ice cream (vegan)

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.
From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

Has anyone successfully wrapped an existing Click app as a subcommand of a Typer app in a generic way? Typer-in-Typer is easy, Typer-in-Click is easy, but Click-in-Typer has proven nigh impossible without the Typer app knowing details of the Click app.

Yesterday I learned something new about pytest! When using `with pytest.raises`, the line that raises the expected exception must come last in the block. Lines after it won’t be executed. This makes sense in retrospect (context managers) but cost me a few minutes of being befuddled.

The building having a hard time adjusting to the current temperatures and being a stiff 67 degrees or so has little charm to it.
Being on an absolutely empty floor of an NYC office on Christmas Eve making pour over coffee and working on self-directed things has a certain charm to it.

Regarding microservices, naming something WHAT it does lets it keep doing the thing it does perpetually. Naming something WHO it serves, on the other hand, lets it morph to serve ever evolving needs until it doesn't do what it did anymore.

Is there some kind of nice static utility for Python that spans the gap between Java's checked exceptions and Python's ask-for-forgiveness where at any level of the call stack you can get an enumeration of the possible set of exceptions from the code below?

Today I lost several hours of my life to forgetting that a GitLab template testing process we have involves manually building, pushing, and referencing a Docker image to be able to test updates to the template. This is roughly instance #13 of this problem, for me.

Is there an open source software maintainer in your life? Are you one?
GitHub has a private community you can apply for at maintainers.github.com!
Folks discuss common problems/solutions, there’s a direct line to GitHub product & betas, and I post funding opportunities.
Spread the word please :)

*Ad playing "Holiday Road" comes on*
Me: I can't hear this without thinking about that T-Mobile ad.
Mom: Me too. It was written for that ad, after all.
Me: Wait...you never heard that song before that commercial?
Mom: Oh, I don't know the Top 40 songs.
It was written 6 years before I was born.

Got up at 5, braved traveling via O’Hare, and skidded home through a northern Michigan blizzard to make it in time for this shindig! Thankful for so much this year, too much to say here but it strikes me that I need to get better at writing them down.

Does @bsky.app search have negation and Boolean operators? I don’t see them documented. I often like to do “#hashtag OR phrase OR @user -from:@user” kinds of things. Tried a few things I thought might work that didn’t.

The elevator ad panel in our New York City Financial District office just offered me tips on how to protect my propane tank while deep frying my turkey. As a non-finance rural Michigander at heart this warms my soul, but I'm not sure how many will relate. 🍗 #thanksgiving

Just about a year ago, I started building an internal development tool to codify some of our most repeatable practices.
The aim was to build something observable, composable, and intuitable, all without breaking the bank—we're a mid-sized non-profit at the end of the day.

For anybody maintaining a Python package, "Publishing Python Packages" by @dane.dev is so useful! Would highly recommend giving it a read. For internal or external. And even for stuff you're not packaging. I use concepts from this book all the time now.
