no better day than the day I add a new weirdware to the portfolio.

introducing https://sprontz.app

a modern implementation of the UI for opensprint hardware.

Web Serial + PWA means you can run a Goldsprint offline without learning how to build a cinder app or compile any nonsense.

i’ve helped too many people build/run SilverSprints, to the point of everyone’s frustration.

RE: @EWDurbin@mastodon.social

Just a shoutout to @Monorepo@fosstodon.org who is the reason I was remarkably less frazzled last year. Jacob is fucking great.

I’m also not leaving the community 💜, I’ll be around and am very much looking forward to continuing to contribute and volunteer in the long run. See you at PyCon US 2026, maybe even less frazzled than last year.

I’m thrilled to have helped to bring the PSF to a place where this transition does not feel utterly terrifying and am grateful to all of the PSF staff, board, volunteers, and community members that have made that possible. I’m not going to be riding into the sunset though 🙂. I am grateful to be able to commit 20% of my time over the next six months to support the current and any new PSF staff in assuring continuity and reliability around my responsibilities.

Some news, I’ll be departing the PSF as a staff member at the end of this week.

You can read a more formal announcement over at https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2026/01/ee-departing-the-psf-staff.html, but I wanted to share on socials as well.

It has been an incredible… nearly 8 years serving as the Director of Infrastructure for the Python Software Foundation, but it is time for me to do something new.

@lorenipsum I'm so sorry

@kojoidrissa my plan more or less

@kojoidrissa built in macOS dictation had been really good to me for “talking” but coding is just P A T I E N C E

@kojoidrissa noooooooooooo
