This week, the #Python Software Foundation rejected a $1.5MM NSF grant, due to a requirement that the PSF abandon diversity work. So I joined forces with Python folks (@offby1, @petrillic, @amethyst) and we're matching up to $12,000 of donations to the PSF. 🧵

Picard: COMMANDER DATA, PLEASE IDENTIFY THAT ROMULAN VESSEL.
Data: THAT'S A GREAT IDEA CAPTAIN!
IDENTIFYING A VESSEL IS A GREAT PLACE TO START - IN ANY TACTICAL OR STRATEGIC OUTER SPACE SITUATION.
THIS VESSEL APPEARS TO BE A 23rd CENTURY KLINGON BIRD OF

Picard: ARE YOU SURE?
LIKE I SAID WE'RE... PRETTY SURE IT'S ROMULAN.
Data: ...
Data: OF COURSE! SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU'RE RIGHT!
ON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT'S A ROMULAN VESSEL! CAN I RECOMMEND SOME SOONG™ BRAND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT?
Picard cradles his face in his hand in a gesture of frustration.

It is either very funny or very depressing that I’ve now been trained to seek a second source for online queries as innocuous as ‘when is my local coffee shop open til today’. I’ve been conditioned to not trust Google’s first answer. Great stuff.

Open question for Python friends: What are your favorite and least favorite design choices for async APIs/endpoints? Curious to hear what you think makes async APIs delightful (or frustrating) to use!

Heartbroken and devastated to hear about Michael "voidspace" Foord's passing. I have so many cherished memories of our fun and always weird conversations — about Python, life, and everything in between — at conferences and IRC. You'll be deeply missed.
