The Return of PyCon
May. 2nd, 2022 09:42 pmI went to PyCon 2022 in Salt Lake City this past weekend, the first in person PyCon since 2019. It was a bit subdued compared to the pre-pandemic norm, but still was really great to attend the talks and meet people, including some of my Python Team colleagues from my side-project work.
I'm certainly very grateful to Julie for holding down the fort while I was away.
I took the red-eye back Sunday night, didn't sleep at all, and was predictably wrecked this morning. Felt fine-ish after a few hours of sleep, but hopefully the jetlag won't linger too long.
In some ways there was something anti-climactic about this year's PyCon. The big event for 2020 in Python world was the final (so far as that can go for software) demise of Python 2. Was looking forward to the big Py2neral. But a 2020 gathering never happened, and in 2022 it seems like old news.
PyCon in Pittsburgh will be getting a bit of a do-over, which I am happy to hear. That was going to be 2020 and 2021, by 2020 the next site had already been decided for '22/'23. But apparently the organizers were not scared away and Pittsburgh will host PyCon '24/'25.
