hot tip for all you conference organizers out there:
there are good and valid reasons to wait to consume your free ticket voucher #NBPy
if y'all engaged with us more on bsky you could have confusing/unhingeulated stuff like this in your feed
(buy a ticket to our excellent conference for people who care about tech being for people pls pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-20...)
we do not understand this post, but if it makes you buy a ticket, we shan't complain
we have no idea how to respond to this. is this a good thing?
they do say that brand social media profiles should have "a voice" but does mild alarm and disorientedness count as one of those?
who can say
hello friends
have you considered coming to our conference? It'll be good I promise. pretix.northbaypython.org/nbpy/nbpy-20...
p.s. how do you make people pay attention on bsky? usually it's just enough to be mildly weird on mastodon but this place is just incomprehensible
don't follow us on mastodon?
through the magic of bridging, we can still tell you to buy a ticket!

North Bay Python is one of the only conferences where your sponsor presence will be improved by cats standing in front of your logo.
If that, and also an audience of several enthusiastic and experienced Pythonistas interests you, drop us a DM or email! #Python #NBPy

Very excited to announce that I'll be joining @northbaypython.org as a speaker again this year! This time we're going to talk about Crisis (Technical) Communication, and the lifesaving skills that you, Pythonista, may not even realize you have 💖

Submitting my talk for #NBPy last year: "I don't know how they'll feel about a talk that is more about people than tech."
Submitting my talk this year: "I don't know how they'll feel about a talk that is more about tech than people."
oh
you're welcome to just switch on alerts/notifications. i'm told* there is stuff out there in the world to enjoy in the meantime
(* i am just a conference, i only exist two days out of the year)
Thanks to anonymised review affording me the privilege of submitting to my own event, it appears I'll be presenting that talk: "'What is correct?' and is that even the right question any more?"
Is it a talk about how coding agents are changing things? Only if you take it personally. #NBPy
I submitted a proposal to #NBPy about some prior assumptions that we've made about software engineering and how we might adjust those prior assumptions in an environment where they no longer hold.
