Re: PyCon US 2024 Recap
#62Hi, this was such a delightful post to read. Im currently a comp sci college student and I had no clue there was even an event called pycon lol. But reading your blog makes me think it was so much fun. Quick question, is there a criteria to attend the event such as part of a specific company or organization? Or is it for anyone who uses python?
Glad you enjoyed it! Anyone can attend PyCon US. There are people from all walks of life and skill levels. If cost is an issue, PyCon US has a generous financial aid program. A caveat: some prospective attendees in other countries have difficulty getting visas.

#65I felt pretty disappointed going to the conference. Though it’s a pivotal and awesome time to be a Python dev and historic to remove the GIL. I found the talks to be very low information and sometimes not really relevant to the title and description of the talk. For example the “Blender integration” talk was 40 minutes with 8 minutes of blender discussion. The talk on Mocking was extremely basic and spent most of the…
I attended, and one thing I learned is that being good at giving talks is often more important than the subject matter of the talk. It's all about keeping it slow and digestible and making sure you don't lose your audience. "Computational Origami" is an example of a talk I loved because of how well it was executed, not necessarily because of the subject matter.
The origami talk was my favorite despite being the least relevant to python

#66Anyone know when videos are released? Right now their YouTube channel has a playlist named pycon2024 with over 100 videos hidden
I was wondering the same thing. In fact when I saw this post (the top-level) about PyCon 2024 I went and re-checked to see if they had published any videos.
Like you I see "144 unavailable videos are hidden" and only 9 videos available to watch.
I'm looking forward to watching some of the content when they do publish :)
