Earlier this week I asked how people name the different parts of a function in Python. I wrote up my takeaway thoughts here:
This weekend, the PieFed community is hosting a Hackathon.
Head over to the Issues list and lend a helping hand where you can!
Python, CSS, Translations, all kinds of things. I've submitted a few issues recently and found the code easy to comprehend.

Earlier this week I asked how people name the different parts of a function in Python. I wrote up my takeaway thoughts here:
Please share: I'm still looking for a job after graduating, if you or anyone you know has a need for either a python dev or embedded engineer, then please reach out 
Python: Django, Docker, deployment, debugging, and databases! Along with CI/CD, data flows/processing, API backend stuff, and some smaller things.
Embedded: Low-level software engineering, RTOSes, ISRs and all that fun stuff, sensor and image DSP, communication protocols, and GDB and bench equipment of all kinds to debug.
Low-level stuff has been most of my recent projects and has more to show, while my previous work history was in backend Python. I'm also a licensed radio amateur, bonus points there too.
If you think you have something for me, you can PM me here or email hire@ my domain (it's catch-all). Based in US but happy to go anywhere if you can sponsor.

TIL a weird lesson. If you use API calls to repost from Mastodon to other services with an API key, it will also pull your private "DMs" (since those are just restricted posts).
Oops.
Time to think of a fix for that one.

Something I recently learned about, and have been amazed by: VS Code Multi-root Workspaces.
This is probably basic knowledge for some people, but I only learned about it a few weeks ago.
Basically you can add multiple Git repositories as part of your workspace. It's great because you don't need to clone anything as a sub-repo, or create symlinks to different directories.
I've been using it for projects that depend on other projects that depend on other projects (etc), and I need to traverse the entire chain of functions/modules dependencies to figure out who's dropping the ball.
It's been very very helpful for me. I hope others find it too.

I gotta say, marimo¹ seems to have worked around all the things that kept me from using #python notebooks for anything other than rough sketches. It's a really nice way to do iterative, exploratory work. And they put a lot of smart quality-of-life stuff in there too. The integration with UV and pip is so convenient.
Dusting off my #Python skills and started working on my python based BBS software again.. Man I got rusty for sure lol
I don’t know if there’s anything the #python community can actually do to make python less appealing to malware developers—maybe it’s just easier to develop software with, and malware is software—but we should be reckoning with the fact that it *is* popular for that https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/02/02/infostealers-without-borders-macos-python-stealers-and-platform-abuse/
