It’s so cute when Claude Code includes timelines in its plans, especially when it’s like “This will take 10 weeks and numerous people to do it” like I’m not just gonna make it do it in an overnight binge session. 🤣

I am hereby declaring this the summer of side projects. The increase in productivity that I’m getting with Claude Code is wild. Ideas no longer have to sit planned out in Obsidian, we can build them together.

If you’re going to repeatedly pester me for a review of your business after I was there, to the point of call me asking for it, and you don’t just let me leave a 5-star review but require a minimum character count for text, be prepared for AI written reviews. Harassment isn’t good customer service.

I’m incredibly honored to have received a community service award at #PyConUS2025. I love all the work I do with #PyTexas, and look to many more years of contributing to the community. Also, fun fact, I received this award in the anniversary of my first day at my first ever #PyConUS

Spicy hot take 🌶️:
Your AI generated marketing videos fucking suck. Random AI avatar acting shocked and that something happened then going into a product spiel? That lack of effort actively makes me want to use your competitor. Quality still matters y’all.

April is peak Texas wildflower season. Come down for the PyTexas Conference (11 - 13 in Austin, TX) and take a short journey into the hill country to see some of the Texas beauty.

Anyone have any recommendations for resources/courses for learning AI topics? I’m looking to get exposure to the whole ecosystem. List everything you have! I’m particularly looking for content on Inferences, Model Training, Model Deployment, and Data Pipelines

Have a friend applying for college NEW GRAD roles have an interviewer ask how garbage collection works in Python
To that interviewer:
1. That is not relevant at all to a college new grad role
2. I guarantee that you probably don’t know how GC works in Python
3. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on

To the person who decided to cement the fence posts in my back yard (previous owner), you’re an idiot. One, this is the reason they rotted and broke in the wind storm. Two, they are a fucking nightmare to replace.

After writing TypeScript for the last few hours, I take back every criticism I’ve ever had about the Python packaging ecosystem. How do people live like this? Blink twice if you’re being held against your will

One of the sneaky hard parts of organizing a conference is running the social media account. I just run out of things to say lol.
