Lightning Talks (Wednesday) with Andrew Mshar
summary
Quick scan: a short set on inclusive naming lists concrete replacement words (blacklist → allow/deny, dummy/crazy → placeholder/impacted) and warns about gendered Spanish forms; a Django shortcut shows using config. with a dot for predictable layout and a maintained base project; a debugging demo provides an SQL context manager gist that writes prettified queries to a file and counts 200 queries on a page; a community project reports ~30 sensors (hardware ≈ $25–$60), Linka backend, grant for 30–50 more; a QR code demo stores vCard contact data. Pick by which concrete tool or surprising number matters to you.
