nisha :questified:<p><a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a> was a blast this year! I'm really happy I attended, this time as an unaffiliated professional looking to learn new things and make new connections...and I did both! Thanks to everyone in the organizing and volunteer team for making such an enjoyable experience! I hope to attend next year :)</p>
Philip Mallegol-Hansen<p>Really enjoyed meeting a bunch of smart, kind, and interesting folks at <a href="https://mastodon.mallegolhansen.com/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a> this weekend. I hope to see you all again in the future!</p>
David Adamec<p>I've had so much fun at <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a> this weekend and I'm sad to see it come to an end. I'm immensely grateful to all the organizers, presenters, volunteers, and attendees that made this conference so excellent. Special thanks to the sponsors, especially the PSF and Twilio, for making this possible!</p>
David Adamec<p>The <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a> PyLadies panel has an impressive lineup of experts in climate, medical research, AI, and more.

David Adamec<p>I haven't used a microcontroller since college, but Sage Elliott's <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a> talk "You Should Build a Robot" is making me want to try it again. It's a very approachable tutorial and the end result is so charming!</p>

Best quote (although I may have a few words wrong): "we're using AI to make predictions to offset the damage done by all these AI queries" 🤣</p>
David Adamec<p>Aji Fama Jobe talks about the fact that contributing to open source doesn't automatically lead to recognition, and suggests some ways to make contributions more visible. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a></p>

Paul Lockaby<p>At <a href="https://uncontrollablegas.com/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a> in Portland, which is being held in a former school, there is a library with these "year books" from the 1960s. When people used to buy encyclopedia sets they would come with these yearly updates that talk about what happened in the past year for major topics.</p>
PyCascades<p>🎉 We’re in the second part of Day 2 at <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PyCascades</span></a> 2025, and it’s been AMAZING! 🎉</p><p>We’ve already had incredible talks from Allen Y, Aswin Kishore, Mason Egger and Velda Kiara! 🚀 The presentations have been outstanding, and we’re just getting started! 🙌</p><p>The energy is high, and we’re pumped for what’s coming next.

I'm saving this slide for the next time someone asks why this matters.</p>
David Adamec<p>Allen Yesudasan and M Aswin Kishore talk about various tools in the asyncio toolbox. If you want to know the difference between Awaitable, Future, Task, and TaskGroup, or what's the deal with ASGI, these two can help you out. A lot of content packed into these 25 minutes! <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a></p>

I've been a little intimidated by Airflow- it's so powerful that it can be hard to know where to start- so seeing some actual examples was really helpful!</p>

David Adamec<p>Nasim, Liam, Quinn Wai, and Kyle talk about how they use Python to process data for cancer research. As a tech worker, it's fascinating to see some tools I use like Pydantic and Airflow alongside some more specialized ones. Cool talk! <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PyCascades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PyCascades</span></a></p>
