#nbpy — Public Fediverse posts

some photos from #nbpy, finally

This reminds me of amanda's @amcasari talk at North Bay Python, The Ironies of Automation in the Age of AI.

She updates the common POSIWID corollary to: "The impact of a system is what we continue to allow."

#NBPy

I'm having #nbpy flashbacks at #pyconUS ! In case you missed the North Bay Python Square Dance Talk, it's here: https://youtu.be/aJVvaz8eFwA

North Bay Python mentioned in another #PyConUS keynote!! 🥳 #NBPy

May your conference’s program be so strong that a keynote speaker at another conference mentions someone else’s talk from yours. #PyConUS #NBPy

Said @amcasari #NBPy talk, for your perusal when you’re not at #PyConUS: https://youtu.be/V9_AbI6ma54

This morning’s #PyConUS keynote speaker is @amcasari, who delivered an absolutely stellar talk at #NBPy just three weeks ago, so I’m absolutely stoked for this!

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.

@daedalus you should watch my #NBPy talk 🤔

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... )

Okay! People at #nbpy kept asking me whether I was going to #pycon US and being quite surprised that I wasn't sure yet, but it's now confirmed: I am going to pycon this year! See many of you very soon! ✨

@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

@amcasari I watched your #nbpy talk. Very good. Thank you.

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.

Sitting with @robin at the Ranch and scheming about how we can continue the connection between this place and the #NBPy community. FONBPy picnics/wine tasting days for donors? 🤔

@brass75 @chrisjrn My cats talks is up! #NBPy

this is exactly why I encourage people to generate FOMO during the conference opening. Most people aren't at #NBPy. More people should be.

This is a really great recap of #nbpy, which I _really_ need to figure out how to attend next year. (via @danlyke)

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.

#NBPy #Python

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.

It's alive ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

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