On Tuesday I'm off to Cape Town, giving an updated "Was/Is/Will Be" keynote at @pyconza then doing a sprint day afterwards about Local AI and Laptop AI. Hanging out with my old friend @rochecompaan who is doing serious agent stuff with Pi extensions, the kind of stuff needed for Laptop AI.
But most of all, hanging out with all the smart, energized, talented Python folks in South Africa. I always feel rejuvenated hanging out with them.
