Stunned by the news of Michael Foord's death. The world will be a little less interesting now... I always felt that with you as an ally things could not be truly lost. Farewell my friend. "The dude abides."

I’m really excited to announce that the CPython project (www.python.org) has hit a huge milestone by integrating the Arm runners on GitHub! This isn’t just a tech update; it’s a sign of the awesome collaboration in the Python community. 😎

I've noticed a concerning trend of "slop security reports" being sent to open source projects. Here are thoughts about what platforms, reporters, and maintainers can do to fight back: #oss #opensource #security #vulnerability #vuln #cve #slop #ai #llm sethmlarson.dev/slop-securit...

In the past days I worked on this PR: github.com/python/cpyth... In theory it should be an "easy" job, it's just a bunch of yaml files but it took me some time to figure out how it works, to read the documentation and then to create the PR. Here, the issue with such changes:

It's me!! I had a chance to catch up with my pals @pablogsal.com and @lukasz.langa.pl on their awesome podcast last week, coincidentally right after my core dev promotion went through. If you like Python, open source, and balloons (!!!), this is the episode for you.

Just a reminder to all the new folks that Neil Gaiman has been credibly accused of sexual assault by five different women, and is almost certainly working behind the scenes with his PR firm to bury the story. Don’t let him. And don’t follow him. More here:

This is a friendly reminder that most open source contributions are volunteer work. If you or members of your project are actively hostile towards new contributors, your project and its community will suffer. New contributors will bail out and find a better use of their time.

NGL, today was not a bad day to wake up with 16kg (35lbs) worth of cat on top of me. Even when the 12kg one woke up and tried to sit on my face. Let's say that was why I had trouble getting up myself. ❤️ #USPol #SavannahCat #Cats

It should be none of my business as a foreigner (oh, would that it were) but I'd like to be clear on something: If you can vote in the US elections and you don't vote Harris/Walz, I'm judging you. Doesn't matter that I won't know. Doesn't matter why you don't vote for them. I'll judge you. #uspol
