They're a neat feature! But most #Python users don't need to think about them until a library they're using tells them to use one.

It's over. uv had more PyPI downloads than Poetry last month, surpassing every other workflow or packaging tool for Python. And that doesn't include GitHub or Crates downloads.

Two kinds of new open source contributors:
1. The kind who haven't made their first PR yet because they don't think they're good enough, or they think that they don't belong
2. The kind who confidently opened spammy and trashy AI-generated PRs without thinking

I have had the most amazing opportunities to participate in multiple tech communities.
Last week, the #Django community at #DjangoCon opened its arms to me and made me feel like I had been a part of it all along!

Here are some notes from the event:
