I'm reaching out to my friends. Black Python Devs is looking for some companies to be our corporate sponsors to help us pay for software and travel to events.
This will allow us to support more events in person while not funding that travel from individual donors.

I was reminded today that when creating case-insensitive strings, Use .casefold() instead lower().
I probably would have continued to use lower() had it not been for hypothesis, which I've been trying to use more and more for testing. - https://kjaymiller.com/microblog/202501160326.html

@npub1vv8…6fhk,
There are a lot of folks wanting to get their Visa requests in as early as possible for PyCon US. Are the Visa recommendation letters available?
