Iâm still looking for people, podcasts, events talking about #Python without assuming everyone is a software developer or a âdata scientistâ.
Why are data journalists, type designers (Guidoâs brother!), Blender wizards, FreeCAD hackers, hobbyist game makers, casual automation buffs, robot tweakers, MicroPython enthusiasts, creative coders, educators, biologists, astronomers and other scientists, consistently ignored?
Are we f*ing invisible? One of Python Brasil keynoters kind of just did that. My heart sank. Other talks, like the Art&FLOSS one, by Jim Schmitz, lessened my pain.
Where is the follow up for that 2017 keynote by Jake VanderPlas?

Cheers @mkennedy@mkennedy & @brianokken@brianokken , listening late to @pythonbytes@pythonbytes episode 446, great as usual!
Listening to the JetBrains survey thing I always worry about the sampling bias⌠All the cool scientists using Python, all the journalists doing data journalism, the urban planners and geospace people, the blender people, the people doing movie post-production pipelines, all the hobbyists⌠I think the survey doesnât reach or represent a large chunk of Python users.

Thatâs pretty darn neat, the little indie movie (âFlowâ) made in Blender beat out some Disney/Pixar heavyweights. I actually watched it a month or so ago, nice little movie. Itâs not the highest detailed animation or anything, but it has a style that it makes work.
