Thank you to the 421 people who voted for me. Wow. My following is probably smaller than that 😅 so thank you. I wrote my nomination at PyLATAM in CR and heard results at PyLadies Dublin. @whykay.bsky.social told me how much a PSF visit meant. The number in the room doesn't matter. Showing up does.🧵

Dublin City Council, again, has banned poster to spare a US president's feelings. Even a version which made no direct reference to Trump and removed his image, and simply read: “No welcome for warmongers” was turned down.

📣 The PSF is excited to announce that we are holding a Grants Program funding round! Open to Python Conferences & Workshops (including PyLadies & DjangoGirls) taking place between Dec 1, 2026 – Apr 30, 2027. 🗓️ Submit your application August 4–25 AoE Details ⬇️

Announcing a 2026 PSF Grants Program Funding Round

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is excited to announce a 2026 PSF Grants Program funding round. This is not a full reopening of the Grants Program as it existed before. Rather, it's what the PSF is able to sustainably offer right now, given where we stand financially and operationally. The PSF Board, PSF Staff, and PSF Grants Work Group (GWG) are deeply passionate about the program and understand how important it is to the Python community. It’s our honor to have the opportunity to disburse grant funding in 2026. In keeping with our focus on sustainability, this round of grant funding has a set budget capped at $90,000 USD, a limited scope, and a different structure and timeline for applying and reviewing. We will be accepting applications from August 4 - 25 AoE, for Conferences and Workshops that are scheduled between December 1, 2026, and April 30, 2027. Our top priority is getting available funds to the regional communities who need it most: those who have had to pause their events and initiatives because of lack of funding from PSF Grants or loss of sponsors.

Our Jam Theme Editor has been revamped! We scanned hundreds of custom CSS jam pages to find new options for the theme editor. Jam hosts can enjoy easy access to font options, new color controls, more background options, copy & paste themes, and more! 🎨 Check it out: itch.io/t/6429680/ja...

Jam Theme Editor Revamp - Developer Updates

Today we’ve updated the jam theme editor. The jam theme editor has been stuck on our legacy theme editor format for quite some time. (Partly because I’ve been afraid to mess up all the existing beauti

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Lots of little oddities to play with here and there. And that’s what makes the SuperBooth very unique. It has become a major event where makers announce new products. Needless to mention the amazing creative international and very laid-back vibe.

So nice to get a mention, it's been a wild journey so far on reflection and I'm working hard to keep the momentum going on upcoming projects and collabs. 🥰

This dev turned down a stable return-to-tech role to take two simultaneous pilot courses. This is what it looked like to be the only techie in an art school cohort, and what changed because of it. Submitted for the 2026 WeCoded Challenge. { author: @whykay.bsky.social } dev.to/whykay/my-cr...
