This time last week we were wrapping up #PyHEP2021 - a great week of talks around using Python for particle physics. It was great to see so many people from so many places connecting, learning, and swapping ideas!

New travel hack: forget exactly when your plane / train leaves and remember only the hour. At worst you'll have the usual scramble, at best you'll arrive early and get an hour for free!

Here's a solid (meta-)analysis of number of lines in a function vs bug density: https://t.co/TEscXdaqYl. Bonus points for them bringing their own results on more modern projects. I frequently push for shorter functions during reviews so it's good to hear the counter-arguments!

Ordered a hot chocolate in a cafe on Saturday, but instead they gave me this fantastic demonstration of convection cells and a perfect analogy for solar granules: https://t.co/LOO5um5K4S (video is about 10x sped up)
