So exciting, I'm still mind-blown and humbled 🤯 When I was learning Flask and wondering about the genius behind it, I didn't imagine this 😊 One thing is meeting your heroes... but another is sharing the stage, for an event around the little thing you made 🤩

Need to work with timezones in #Python? Don't use pytz! Use zoneinfo. It's included in the standard library from Python 3.9 onward and pip install-able if you're on 3.8. Big NOTE: If your code needs to run on Windows, you'll also need to pip install tzdata too!

This is what adding support for @pydantic v2 in @FastAPI looks like. 🚀 ...all while keeping compatibility with Pydantic v1. 😎 Of course, lots of those lines are tests. 🤓 Prepare the champagne. It's minutes/hours away. 🍾

ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences.

#InternationalWomensDay is always a day of mixed emotions. Have I seen some progress in my workplace over the years? You be the judge - Here are some pics of the day from my phone spanning the last 10 years.
