You should absolutely include your tests in your coverage measurement.

Solutions needed: Is it possible for coverage.py to automatically exclude Protocols from measurement?

Should coverage.py report a missing branch if a comprehension doesn't run to completion? https://github.com/nedbat/coveragepy/issues/1617#issuecomment-1535647011
Would it be better if instead of "2->exit" it said "completion(2)" ?
Bugs like dt.replace(year=dt.year + 1), code that works with ordinal day-of-year, etc.
Psst. Next year is a leap year. Depending on your deployment story, now (or 3 months ago😅) might be a good time to start looking into logic that won’t handle leap years correctly.
#matrix isn’t great, but it’s a darn sight better than this.

Post-conference notes from my experience at PyCon 2023. I think I am squeaking under the wire for these to still be relevant…

Genuinely the best thread I've seen on Hacker News in years: "Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?"
So many delightfully niche projects!

Note: This is one of the exceedingly rare occasions where I like something like this.
For the most part I find content about datetimes, DST and programming in general to be boring and uninteresting.
Heading home from #PyConUS, ready to relax and see my family again after 10 days in SLC.
To celebrate, here’s some fiction relevant to my work that you might be interested in:

Anyone have videos of the club juggling that happened at #PyConUs? I saw some on phones, but I guess they weren't shared?
It was just a few days ago that I was spontaneously praising @kevin for his work transforming Bloomberg’s culture with respect to open source. You could do much worse than hiring him.

In case you haven't heard, Red Hat is laying off people today, and I'm one of them. My 'career' as a Hatter lasted just over 15 months, much less time than I had planned or expected.
Many of you know me well, and know that I have extensive background in open source software, project management, open source business, and lots of related activities. If you're aware of any opportunities which may be of interest, feel free to send them my way via any channel you like.
Boosts much appreciated, of course, and thanks in advance!
