Such a great point from @sheena at the #pycon education summit: our students aren't learning in the same environment we did! Things that were obvious to us, like Sheena's example of learning return vs print in a compiled language, may no longer be NEARLY so obvious in the tech stack our students are actually learning!
I used a similar example in my #nbpy talk this year, where my students expect that clicking "no" on a modal will block them (because during their tech journey it often has!). I love this generalized observation, though.
So many student empathy problems could be anticipated by considering in advance how your students' environment differs from the environment you learned in.

It's been a few weeks since #NBPy 2026, and now you can watch all the talks we recorded, and relive all of the scheduled parts of an amazing weekend.

One of the best things I learned at North Bay Python was about Lodge cast iron cookware. I love my 4 qt dutch oven.

Just as review, and testing (to an extent), and actual development methodology have become optional for many teams, so too is writing code that you actually understand.
Unrelatedly, watch my talk from #NBPy

🧵thread from Daisy that might be a good part of the reason why I spoke about code review as a key part of actually delivering software product. #NBPy (link for those in the back: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Ae... )

@elizayer and that was 100% the point of my #NBPy talk: https://youtu.be/d7AeWFbOTHg

I wrote a little bit about this year’s @NorthBayPython, which was fantastic. Shoutout to all the organizers, volunteers, speakers, attendees, and sponsors. :yay: #nbpy

While I have you, you should attend #NBPy for all the reasons people talk about in the hashtag, but also because it's where you get to see what the community will be talking about for the next two years before anyone else.
If you want to see the most-talked-about PyCon talks before they happen, go to North Bay.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@AlSweigart/116500985197206711
this is exactly why I encourage people to generate FOMO during the conference opening. Most people aren't at #NBPy. More people should be.
-
And after watching @chrisjrn 's heavy (and extremely important!) talk I'm watching @baconandcoconut 's talk about needing more cats in the #Python community as a palate cleanser.

Some things that have occurred to me since my #NBPy talk:
1. The "definition of done" school of agile development is focused on when to decide to stop adding to things; agent-assisted coding inverts the development process and our concept of "done" needs to adjust to match.

This blog post from @[email protected] captures so much of what we try to do at #NBPy. I love that what we're trying to do shines through with the people who aren't part of the org team. pythonbynight.com/blog/north-bay-p…

This blog post from @pythonbynight captures so much of what we try to do at #NBPy: a tech conference about people, a schedule that gives presenters the time they need to tell their story, speakers who are just another part of the audience.

I blogged about my recent experience at North Bay Python. Probably more of the same if you followed the chatter over the weekend.
A summary and video of my talk are elsewhere. Here I reflect on some of my inner thoughts before/during my talk, a reflection on a few talks that seemed connected to my theme, and impressions overall.

I couldn’t figure out how to subscribe to a pretalx schedule as a calendar, with my search yielding no confirmation that they even have that as a feature, so I built a converter. I’m now trying to figure out how to deploy it.
Before I spend any more time on this, is it actually already a thing and I just need the correct URL? Or might this actually be of service to someone?
(Yes, #nbpy inspired this.)

For those of you playing along at home, the weather in Petaluma is now picture-perfect (70°ish, the sun is out, there's a slight breeze). #NBPy's gonna nbpy, I guess.

Deeply appreciate the opportunity from #NBPy to bring together these ideas with such a thoughtful and deeply experienced audience.

If you've enjoyed previous _we are not very good practicioners_ takes from me, this is where my head is at re the industry writ large: If we're worried that agent-assisted coding is making things worse, it's because everything else was awful immediately before it.
Oh no. #NBPy

And I also gave a talk aboout #NBPy built around a paper from the mid-1980s. What is "the truth" or "correct" in programming? Very little. And that means we need to properly understand what it is that we do and what we make. youtu.be/d7AeWFbOTHg

This talk by Amanda Casari at #NBPy had some necessary lessons about the state of the industry from a 1983 paper. Automation increases the need for operators who can comprehend the scope of the task being automated. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: youtube.com/watch?v=V9_AbI6m…

Yeah, Pallets and Flask sponsored North Bay Python! But I know you all actually want the cat pics from my slides 🐈⬛🐈⬛ Here's a link to the slides in blog form: https://davidism.com/sponsoring-north-bay-python-2026/ #nbpy #python #flask

"So why didn't you use Click?" ... "It just didn't click with me." @pathunstrom @astraluma I clapped. #nbpy #flask

Because I do a fair amount of frontend work but think most frontend frameworks are overkill, I use #HTMX and #alpinejs a lot. And @glyph's #NBPy talk made me think about what a #PyScript package that combines both and provides #python handles to both would look like.
What could I build if I had a drop-in #django package that gave me all the interaction I wanted while writing python code?

Who could possibly object to knowing more about how #Python's variables work? Happily, @trey.io has some pointers on pointers! Join us at #NBPy on April 26th & 27th: pretalx.northbaypython.org/nbpy-2025/ta... 🎟️ nbpy.link/tickets

It's barely more than a week until #NBPy 2024. You have two days to buy your ticket in a way that will not cause @chrisjrn anxiety about the number of chairs or food items to order.
Please consider buying a ticket this week at https://pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-2024/
Or make Chris slightly more stressed and buy next week. I don't care much. ^CN
