Who&#39;s coming to PyCon sprint days this year? Debating whether to attend - it makes a long trip away from home even longer, but I also hear it&#39;s really a great experience.

@pamelafox@fosstodon.org Not going this year, but I did a sprint day in both 2024 (Flask) and 2025 (free threaded python). Felt like a reasonable balance and got to work closely with a lot of really nice people.

@pamelafox@fosstodon.org I try to always attend the first day when I can, but I'm hoping to attend all the sprint days this year.

@pamelafox@fosstodon.org I'm attending *primarily* for the sprints! For me, that was the best part last year. Several days away from all of my normal responsibilities to just do whatever seems right in the moment. Plus a bit of healthy social pressure to try to actually do stuff. For me, that unstructured time is a bit of a precious rarity.

@pamelafox@fosstodon.org sprinting. I spend a few days trying to help the Cloud Custodian folks.

@pamelafox@fosstodon.org Planning on at least the first day, hoping not to get too sidetracked... 🐿️
