Looking forward to hearing what's next, and best of luck on whatever that is :)

I had this same issue yesterday. I found that you can pour them on top of the grill and then slide it back a bit and it leaves a small gap where the briquettes fit through. So I pushed them through there and then spread them. Once the grill was hot, I cleaned it with newspaper.

You might want to look at the separation between the bars on the grill you'll plan on grilling. Some are very wide and burgers fall apart. In this case I'd go for a cut like skirt which cooks fast and there is no risk of falling through.

I don't have TSA, and depending on the airport it's not that bad these days. Sometimes even faster because everyone has TSA.

Lol. I keep getting the "have you considered going back to school for a masters?"
I'm like b*** I have a PhD and left academia for good. Nah thanks.

If you like birds the aviary is awesome! We went last year, it was great!

We switched to a generic one a while back. I don't recall the brand but it was what appeared after googling a bit for a more affordable replacement.

Other more local, also for next year would be GW OSCon.

Then local to the DMV, all the data community meetups, are always looking for speakers.

Upcoming that I know, it's not out yet but PyData NYC.

So the cfp has already passed, as a matter of fact the schedule went up for this year, but for next year, SciPy is my favorite conference ever, very welcoming and inclusive.

A friend is looking for a junior devops position. He saw a posting and got discouraged because they asked for a 4 year experience with Kubernetes and Terraform. 🤯

80-90%? That sounds like they have a documentation problem, and the users can't understand what's going on.

Would you say this applies to the East Coast in general? In the past I had worked with some people from the West Coast and it would take forever to make decisions because they would not "get to it". There would be tons of documents about the "it" but no execution, just talk. It was very exhausting.

That's a fair point. I'm just sad that it's only for a privileged group (so not very inclusive) and the goal is different.

Their goal is way off what it used to be and unfortunately there is a very high fee to join, a ~2k membership.

As someone who volunteered a lot in the past for wwc (and continues to do so in my local chapter under a different name) it's very sad to see the turn it took. :(

What a good show!

If you are on the the DC area (or DMV) you have @wgxcodersdc.bsky.social

I felt like episode 10 could have been episode 1...
