We all need human connection. Even more with #WorkFromHome and #remote teams so common. Can we get that feeling of closeness, while only meeting online? We’ve been working on a solution - take a peek! https://t.co/dgYA6dFdWK

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!
The #PyHEP2021 workshop group photos are now up on Indico! Thanks to everyone who participated, and as you can see from the mosaic there's a lot of you! :D https://t.co/lNYhN7Y9Fi

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!
