I wrote about a little HTML dialog feature that I just implemented on my blog!

Create an HTML dialog when you click an image
Sometimes you just want an image to be more in your face, you know?

Should AI write tests? Does it write good tests? Will that lead to worse software? @brianokken.bsky.social and I debate that and more with live code demos as we pick apart the generated code and discuss the risks and benefits.

🐍 Calling all Python data engineers!

I’m looking to chat with Python developers working in data engineering—whether you’re building pipelines, wrangling data, or just figuring things out as you go.

Today is International Women's Day, and I would like to take the chance to celebrate all the women that do amazing work in Open Source projects. I'm closer to the Python and PyData world, but please comment in the thread adding women you'd like to celebrate. Look for awesome women in the threads.

Some GOOD news - remember this young person you all helped raise money for his trip? He made it! www.linkedin.com/posts/ditiro...
Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to attend PyCon Namibia 2025 on their 10th anniversary as a speaker and attendee. This was my second PyCon this year, and it was just as incredible as the first! A huge thank you to Scott Hanselman and his network for making this possible by helping with my fundraiser, and to Daniele Procida, what would I do without you? Your support means so much! PyCon Namibia is always a great experience, meeting new people, reconnecting with familiar faces, and finally putting names to faces I've only known online. It truly shows the power of the Python community. A special shoutout to the organizers and volunteers, Jessica Upani, Ngazetungue Muheue, Tinomudaishe Ndhlovu, Ngatatue Mate, Daniele Procida and others, for all the hard work behind the scenes. Events like this wouldn’t happen without passionate people like you! I must highlight that they are my family, they are always there for everything I need. Stay tuned for Part 2, where I’ll share more about my experiences. 🚀

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes

Yes totally cool that a 19-year-old who called his deleted LinkedIn "Big Balls," where he lists his experience working as a camp counselor can access the entire US federal payment system without anyone looking into his background, for instance, his Russian national close relatives or anything else

I did it - I built my first PC! 👩🏾‍💻

And I didn’t even cry. I cursed a lot. But this PC build didn’t make me cry.

Gonna change the LCD screen to Whitley in the AM but for now, it’s Aaron Pierre. 🥰
On the left is a computer monitor with an installation of Unity on the screen. On the right is a desktop computer with purple and pink fans. The PC case has a tempered glass cover.
