So exciting, I'm still mind-blown and humbled 🤯
When I was learning Flask and wondering about the genius behind it, I didn't imagine this 😊
One thing is meeting your heroes... but another is sharing the stage, for an event around the little thing you made 🤩
22 Aug 2023
I will be in Berlin for the FastAPI event with @tiangolo hosted by @getsentry! sentry.io/resources/fastapi-… - we will be chatting about modern Python web dev and other fun things!

Need to work with timezones in #Python?
Don't use pytz! Use zoneinfo.
It's included in the standard library from Python 3.9 onward and pip install-able if you're on 3.8.
Big NOTE: If your code needs to run on Windows, you'll also need to pip install tzdata too!

ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences.

It was so much work (also from the @pydantic team) that I almost can't believe we're here. So exciting! 🤩
The focus of this @FastAPI version is compatibility, please help me check it's all working for you! 🚀
Next, there will be more focus on improvements and performance. 😎
IT'S HERE! 🎉
