Aiven is giving me more freedom to write. This time in prep for my workshop tomorrow I wrote about how I ingested the MICHELIN guide data and showed how I could explore the dataset with PG Studio.
What things would you like me to write about in an official capacity (or maybe an unofficial one)?
I wrote this post on the Aiven Blog because genuinely when someone asks me "Is PGVector enough", I'm almost certain they haven't considered their architecture and are looking for a simple solution. Sorry, but I don't think PGVector is that simple solution but it is a darn good one.
I wrote this post as a way to think out loud about my three tools and how I'm using them together.
I've been trying to listen to my body more and I remember my great friend Melanie Arbor guiding a body scan meditation. This isn't Melanie but it's a really great meditation.
I have my reservations about 3d printing a server rack
It's been so great catching up with Jamal after all these years.
Many folks don't know Jamal but I hope they will leanr more about him as he is more and more in the conference community.
Jamal helped with the Python Thursdays and CodeNewbie over a decade ago that I joined as a way to learn Python. He was one of the many amazing folks that helped me in my Python journey.

Plant update: Most of the plants are doing well. I even chopped and repotted a few in since it's summer
Blog post reflecting on how tattoos serve as a personal journal of fleeting moments, urging a casual approach to writing so it stays informal rather than sacred.
The hope is to do more and more leadership summits but in order to do that, it needs to become a formulaic thing. I asked how do we make this a reality at conferencechats.com - Colin - Document...

"I do not want to speak at conferences or on podcasts or do workshops in order to try and sell you a product."
I'm not saying this is me every day but it is definitely me some day. That said I've been trying to move up into a more behind the scenes role and helping the next gen of DevRel folks instead.
Best of luck Salma!

PyCon APAC Videos are up! This includes my keynote.
Hey y'all! PyCon US Videos just dropped (I don't think the Keynotes are up yet... but maybe I'm bad at youtubing).
Y'all know how math works right?
I want to try something for July.
For the month of July, each day, can I get 7 donations of $7 to Black Python Devs every day.
If successful that would be over $1500 donated and that would cover a sponsorship of 1-2 events in South America or Africa. I'll start by being the first person to donate my $7 for the entire week!
SIDE NOTE: If you were able to do $7 everyday to for the month - it would be enough to become a foundational supporter.
