This year at #europython, I gave my first #Microsoft official international talk! I spoke about how #covid #vaccine #data can be analyzed with #Python using #fastapi, #azure and #PostgreSQL. 😊😊

Check it out here. 👇👇

My masters homework today referenced documentation I helped write during my time at Microsoft. I had fun helping others with Python (and giggling as I followed the instructions I've seen so often before) :)

@savostrowski @pythonvscode Your work continues to make a huge impact! In fact, I was thinking of you this weekend as I booted up VSCode for some school work. Where will your adventures take you next?

[Rabeea Emad @rabeea_emad]

Coding can be so humbling and frustrating. It doesn't matter how many years of experience you have or how good you are, an annoying little bug can bring you to your knees and fill you with imposter syndrome for hours in a heart beat until you fix it

Probably the greatest piece of advice I got this year.

I have this quote from this week’s “Dare to Lead” guest, @JamesClear, on a sticky note on my laptop and another one on my desk. Whenever I’m facing a failure, disappointment, or setback, I always ask myself this question: Do our systems support success? https://t.co/6afdq6spks

Just ordered the new #Apple Macbook 🎉🎉! So excited that I finally get to retire my 10-year old trusty Apple machine that has seen me through all these years . I'll be needing that awesome processing power for my ML models 🥳. Feeling more than a bit emotional right now! 😄😄

The downside of being organized is that when you lose something you know you've REALLY lost it.

Spent the first day of my vacation trying to find my rings. After 12 hours of searching, I eventually found them as I lay defeated in my living room. They were under the sofa. 🤪😜

@nnja How about 'floof'? Or is that too meta?

[Rabeea Emad @rabeea_emad]

@livelovegeek Hans Rosling's talks on public health and data/statistics are my favorite - although they aren't classical tech talks :)

[Rabeea Emad @rabeea_emad]

@bryanl The concept of an 'exploding offer' at startups. New graduates get especially hurt by the artificial pressure it creates :(

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Your identity can hold you back:

-I'm terrible with directions.
-I have a sweet tooth.
-I'm bad at math.

...or build you up:

-I'm the type of person who doesn't miss workouts.
-I finish what I start.
-I read every day.

Build habits that reinforce your desired identity.

@savostrowski MacOS. Didn't run into any issues - just followed along the https://t.co/DL0StrNgq8 tutorial!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A balanced argument doesn’t weigh two sides equally. It weighs the strongest evidence more heavily.

Critical thinking isn't about representing every view. It's about recognizing your biases, and giving serious consideration to facts that contradict your hopes and beliefs.

I checked out Typer today. What's not to love about it? It's like the FastAPI of CLIs 😊

[Sebastián Ramírez @tiangolo]

I just released Typer 0.4.0 🔖

It's compatible with both Click 7 and 8 🎉

Click 8 added lots of improvements, and that came with some complex challenges for Typer, but this release is compatible with both versions to help make migrations smooth. 🏂

@ClaudiaRegio I unashamedly own a teddy bear one and yes it vastly improved my quality of life :P Good call, Claudia! :D

[Rabeea Emad @rabeea_emad]

@fossygrl Awww. I hope you will be gentle with yourself. Those are too many zeroes, anyway.

Out of endless highlights, folded pages, and notes in the 264 pages of Atomic Habits by @JamesClear -- the one line that stuck out like no other was:

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”

So simple.

So powerful.
