Today I released [pytest-perf](pypi.org/project/pyte...) 1.0, a pytest plugin for performing continuous benchmarks comparing proposed changes to the status quo. It provides a lightweight Python DSL for orchestrating performance sensitive operations with support for imports.

It's normal in college not to know what you want to do. And indeed part of the purpose of college is to help you answer that question.
As long as you're working hard and learning a lot, you're heading in a good direction, even if you don't know where it ultimately leads.
I'm about to release Setuptools 80, which blocks use of the `easy_install` command and replaces the `develop` command with a pip-backed compatibility shim. I don't expect this change to cause too much disruption, but I'll be monitoring the bug tracker closely just in case.
My GitHub profile indicates I've hit a record 10,220 contributions in the past year. It's been a good run this summer, with work on bit.ly/coherent-system, security vulnerabilities in CPython, and more. Expect my contributions to slow when I join #Microsoft this September.

Time for everyone to upgrade their tzdata to the latest version, particularly if your software needs to work properly in Mexico (which enacted permanent DST on short notice).
Someone should translate @mattjohnsonpint's article into Spanish: codeofmatt.com/on-the-timing…
Scholar profiles provide another mechanism for authors to present all their papers as they prefer. Authors have complete control over their profiles. They can select the papers to include in their profile, so that papers published under all their names are in their profile.
