PyCon US 2025

I attended PyCon in Pittsburgh PA this past week and it was a great time. Beyond all the great talks and speakers there was a huge sense of community that I came across the entire weekend. 

Comparing to other conferences I have attended PyCon really sticks out.  Every conversation I got to have over lunch or in the hallway was uplifting and really showcased the diversity of the language and the people using it.  

I also had a few "celebrity" encounters, breakfast with Bruce Eckel, a nice chat with Al Sweigart over OCR packages, and even got to say hello to Dawn Gibson-Wages and talk current state of the industry.

My next few posts will be about the conference in greater detail.
