PyCon US 2025
Went to PyCon in Pittsburgh on short notice last week. My first conference as a professional software developer! Here's a few of my takeaways:
- Spaces that embrace the "good weird" in all of us are strong
- Talking about your company to strangers uncovers blind spots
- Walking / biking around a new city opens up my world
- Honest conversations around mental health and burnout in technology is crucial
- Dialogue around organized labor in technology seems to be picking up
- Pittsburgh is a beautiful city full of life
