Do I know anyone who's worked on budgeting infrastructure projects (physical infrastructure like roads and buildings, not software) who would be open to chatting with me for a short time and answering some questions about terminology used in that context?

Today's my last day at Google 🥲
I'm taking some time off to focus on my family, personal health, and to work on my bots.
If anyone knows of a role that'll fit me, I'll appreciate the intro! 😊
It's relatively easy to make a drop-in replacement for these, but also we're deprecating them because they're conceptually the wrong thing to do, so it's best to migrate to using aware datetimes if possible: https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2019/11/utcnow.html
`datetime.utcnow` and `datetime.utcfromtimestamp` will be deprecated in #python 3.12: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103857
If you maintain a package, now is probably a good time to grep your source code for `utcnow` and `utcfromtimestamp` to get out ahead of the deprecation warnings. 📅🕐

65 MB/s, nice, nice. At this rate it's only going to take.... 3 days to wipe this 16TB drive.

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?
