I just finished my FOSDEM talk about #PyScript in the #Python dev room. As usual, people loved getting free copies of the C4E books just for asking questions at the end of the talk. Check out Lifesaver Coach if you want to become a Happy Engineer yourself.

I have written a book and taught masterclasses called "Communication for Engineers." Next up is Lifesaver, a Chrome browser extension. Question for you: As an engineer, what features should the tool have? What problems are you facing the most in your career? How can Lifesaver help?

One pack costs you 7 hours of your life. My mom was a heavy smoker. If she had not smoked that much, statistically speaking, she would still be with us this Holiday period. 😞

Using PySheets (pysheets.app), I had an AI convert the data in this report into a single picture. The trend: We increasingly use Python standalone and less together with other languages. What browser apps will you write in 2025 using #PyScript and LTK, github.com/pyscript/ltk? How can I help you?

My talk at FOSDEM 2025 has been scheduled in the Python track. See you in Brussels on February 2? fosdem.org/2025/schedul...

I wrote the "Communication for Engineers" book, chrislaffra.com/c4e.html. It does not really use Python, but I also wrote pyalgoviz.appspot.com, which has about 90 different algorithms written in Python and visualized in Python. 🤓

Bluesky desperately needs identity verification. I have a hard time believing this actually is the famous actor, singer, athlete, and musician Peter, who is reaching out to me...

Interesting and admirable.

This was my Android phone setup in 2013, with a dongle, keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Your phone can definitely be your laptop in 2024 as well.

The Amsterdam Founder's Dinner last month was a great experience. I am so glad I went. I made new friends, got helpful advice, and saw inspiring demos of new startups at the Amsterdam Startup Meetup. It was packed, with people even standing outside in the cold. Cool!

"All bad things in Python come from Guido" - at Guido's Dijkstra Award ceremony at CWI in Nov 2019. These three pictures were taken by David Beazley, Guido himself, and me.

Here is my setup for today's #PyData Global tutorial on writing Python applications in the browser using #PyScript-LTK. let's Go!

For my upcoming PyData Global tutorial, I create slides with Google Slides, convert them to PNGs with pymupdf, and render them with PyScript LTK. See github.com/laffra/slides. Here is the process in a nutshell:
