I decided that retirement was boring and have joined the Developer Division at Microsoft. To do what? Too many options to say! But it’ll make using Python better for sure (and not just on Windows :-). There’s lots of open source here. Watch this space.

This is two years old but really resonates with me. Thank you @evancz! (Also, how are you doing? Email me.)
Why is there so much conflict in online communities? My latest @strangeloop_stl talk outlines the problem, traces historical influences back to 1902, and suggests some alternate paths. I hope people find it helpful, or at least thought provoking! invidious.snopyta.org/o_4EX4dPppA

While there was so much more hiring planned for @ThePSF this year, this opening will clearly be one of the most pivotal for the organization moving forward. pyfound.blogspot.com/2020/12…
