@glyph Solid legal advice: “It’s not copyright infringement if you copy it from a parallel universe.”
@glyph “If you learn anything from this talk, it should be, ‘Use the keyring module’”
Too late! I already learned a different thing!
My takeaway from @glyph’s talk: give all your passwords to a CLI tool you installed from PyPI to help you memorize them: 😉

I like how @hynek’s example of an exception to the no subclassing rule of thumb is… exceptions.

I will be speaking at 3:15 in 355DEF, on "How To Keep A Secret".
Let's just keep that between us, shall we?
(I'll post the YouTube link later when it's available.)
@hynek Protocol: “brand new” feature from Python 3.8.
(These are great by the way: https://blog.glyph.im/2020/07/new-duck.html)

If you can juggle, or if you can't and want to learn, we have a juggling open space at #PyConUS: 5:00 today, 251E!

It went by pretty quick, so you may have missed it, but I think there’s a good lesson to take from James’ humility about his own design judgement.
I think I have good design judgement, but I am constantly recognizing designs in the wild that are wildly successful that don’t commonly exhibit the failure modes I would have predicted.

Hey #PyConUS, if you liked the cartoons in my keynote, they were done by my son Ben. He's a freelance illustrator, hit him up! https://artofbatch.com
t’s actually a good strategy for giving examples of APIs that can be improved that I’ve used in the past: use your own code for negative examples 🙂
Love James Powell wearing his NumFocus sweatshirt while putting scipy’s interface on blast 😅😉 #pyconus #PyConUS2023
@nedbat Is there a place people are leaving their juggling stuff? I don’t really want to carry mine around all day 😅
Anyone know the person who did the lightning talk about public records / genealogy? I didn’t catch his name.

Hey #PyConUS are you ready to learn all about pyproject.toml? Come to my talk at 14:30.
After that, there will be a pyproject.toml open space where we can chat about the details! Not enough for you? I'll also be giving away signed copies of my book DevOps in Python, 2nd ed *and* copies of the book I co-authored, Expert Twisted.
