One of the things that really drew me to Python was its readability. I remember looking back at some code I had written a year ago and realizing that I could still understand it. This was not the case with Perl, Python's readability made me want to dive deeper into it.

I agree with Gartner's view that “Anaconda’s strength lies in its ability to federate and provide a central access point for a very large number of Python developers who build machine-learning capabilities continuously.” : #Python #ML

Really excited for my friends at Coiled and the work they are doing to make dask even more accessible and useable by all. We are getting so much closer to what we envisioned when building @anacondainc . Grateful that we could help get Dask started.

Tiny summary of a lot of work: Coiled raised $5M seed funding $ pip install coiled >>> cluster = coiled.Cluster()

The temptation to copy and paste code snippets from ChatGPT or Stackoverflow is real, but true mastery lies in comprehension. I've copied and pasted a lot of code. But as a programmer, it's your duty to understand. And to do so, you'll eventually end up in documentation 😉.

awesome when the software you had a big part in is used to make fundamental discoveries: #pydata #LIGO @ContinuumIO

Loved the experience of meeting #Python faithful in #Pakistan @PyConPK as I spoke to them over the internet --- even late at night from my hotel in Washington, DC. Keep up the good work there. I hope to visit you soon!

@gvanrossum @jakevdp This was an April Fool's Day stunt we did at @anacondainc several years ago to show how one could re-constitute old-environments --- even ones including old versions of Python itself with the conda package manager. It can be instructive to play with Python 1.0.
