As I start to type this, the FIRST EVER PyCon Africa has ended. Today was the final day, with a couple of tutorials and the Development Sprints we’ve come to expect at the end of things with “PyCon” in their name. I was fortunate enough to
Published: 2019-06-29 21:33 Updated: 2019-07-01 18:36 I’ve seen a lot more information about Feature Flags recently, so I decided to learn more about them and look at some related products. First, a little context. In a nutshell, Feature Fl…
So, my April Code Challenge turned into a fail. I ended up needing to shop for a new(to me) car AND deal w/ some fraudulent activity on my bank account. Those two surprises, combined with two April trips that were already scheduled (PyTexas…
Published: 2019-04-02 00:46 Updated: 2019-04-01 20:08 I picked April for another 30 Day Github challenge. I want to spend more time coding and blogging. I’ve also got some things going on that are going to require more writing/blogging on m…

No post yesterday, but I did push code. So that was nice. I wasn’t super productive today, then got a burst of productivity in the evening. Got a bit of code pushed out. I also got an answer to a not-super-important, but still interesting,
Today’s been mixed. Got some things taken care of and/or put on track. Also had some failures, reminding me of long-standing issues I need to resolve. And I’m sleepy. Time for some Self Care Overwatch, then probably a nap. I’m also supposed…
Tonight I had two things I needed to work on. But then I got sidetracked by another blog post idea (which I started outlining and I’ll probably publish tomorrow). So, I may not get as far on the 2nd thing as I’d hoped. I spoke at PyGotham f…

I missed yesterday. 😭 However, the show must go on. So, today I want to talk about submitting talks to DjangoCon US. In my role as the DEFNA North American Ambassador (#NorAmGT), I’m at a lot of conferences. I’ve often seen a talk I though…
