I was 50/50 on if I should have gone to @pyconau for the first time. I wasn’t sure if my current programming and python skills would high enough to make it worthwhile.

Watching the talks has they come up on YouTube, I know that I really should have. At least I know for next year. #pyconau #pyconau2023

#PyConAU2023 was a lot of fun - I met some new people plus I caught up with some I've met in other circles. I have a lot of new things to go and learn more about and try for myself.

I might be a little jealous that some languages I know don't have a mascot.

Winding up at #pyconau2023 , consider speaking, sponsoring or volunteering next year. Otherwise come along.

ok who's adopting the lightning talk newbie that MADE A THING

@nickzoic "then i saw the posts about pycon fair and i thought, what's the stupidest thing i've been working on lately?"

Doing some bad sketching in Python and by hand. Brush stroke pressure another enhancement.

I should be clear that this is not about the framework of Just Culture specifically, this is a bunch of stuff that I learned about and synthesized that approaches the problem in a similar way from another direction!

#pyconau #pyconau2023

Someone during the question period asked about Just Culture and how that has or hasn't shown up in IT, and I promised to share a video of my talk on blameless culture and retrospectives. This one was given at Kawaiicon in Aotearoa New Zealand in 2019 and it has subtitles: for the person who asked about Just Culture, here's the version of the talk I gave about blameless culture at Kawaiicon in 2019, with subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b15K5Y507fo

@freerangefatty nobody's gonna die if we have an incident! but do you actually know that? what if people are using your product in unexpected ways?

and then there's this whoooole chain of stuff behind making emergency response decisions in the moment

@benno

what even is an ideas? well, ideas have shapes, and the shapes linger, but something something i think benno's saying they become memes

@yaakov
I also love that they're taking the ongoing pandemic seriously

#pyconau #pyconau2023

we have entered the @chrisjrn czardom - lightning talks

"i have a confession: i don't have any slides"

wait that's the person that brings @hogesonline a coffee in bed every morning! no slides necessary, that is deep service to humanity!

#pyconau #pyconau2023

TIL mathemagical quantification of reading ease! it's the flesch formula! and then there's more maths to determine year level appropriateness of written material - if you picked up a book and it says it's for 11 year olds, that was probably deemed to be so using the flesch-kincade formula

Looking forward to @hogesonline proving that the 80s are the best musical decade #pyconau #pyconau2023

@hogesonline i used to do data stuff a ton of time ago, and i wanted to find out if i could honestly tell my kids that their music is worse than mine

#pyconau #pyconau2023

i find it amusing when finicky people like @croy get to use the words 'pydantic' that many times in a single talk

entirely by accident i'm sure

After doing lots of Kubernetes manifest YAML's, this seems like being seen.

It is infrastructure as code,
Not infrastructure as YAML.

Well I did learn to "code" HTML at one point.
