Once upon a time, there was a python meetup at Yelp (again). Previous post

341 predicted attendees, and a line around the block at 6:15 (first entry time). There are a significant number of women- possibly as many as 15% by my terrible esitmates

Talks:

• Pitch by Yelp recruiter
• takluyver on sdist vs wheel, tool flit
• Roesler live demo Let’s Encrypt
• book giveaway of Soft Skills
• coderanger on how the internet works
• glyph on The Shadow Python!!!!! Dun dun dunnnn - twistd + package ecosystem overview

Humans notes:

• Some dude wearing a hipchat shirt who has confirmed that he does not work for hipchat took a while to figure out how to stop telling me the names of chat clients.
• There is a cool dude who works at Appdynamics
• Z’s friend with the briefcase, hi!
• Cool lady to whom I talked while in line: you rock!

Some interesting things:

• Student programming competitions in APL
• LendLayer student loans for bootcamps
• Telegraph Academy backed by HackReactor and the US government. “The 12-week Software Engineering school for people of color.”
• Let’s Encrypt “Let’s Encrypt is a new Certificate Authority: It’s free, automated, and open.” (automated ssl cert, free)
• https://utilityapi.com/
• Thicknet
• ARP spoofing
• ARP is agressively cached everywhere because it is slow
• IANA
• BGP hijacking
• packages: crochet, hendrix, klein
• tx prefix for packages that let twisted talk to things
• “the ssl gods are angry” lol
• txtorcon
• txscrypt “the algorithm is dangerous to use on its own”
• this talk should be a website
• txtulip, txaio ?
