Puget Sound Programming Python (PuPPy)

Join us for a social evening at the Locust Cider in the iconic Harbor Steps in downtown Seattle. We'll welcome back old faces and welcome new ones. This is an informal social format -- feel free to bring a laptop if you want, but we expect this is mainly a chance to catch up and meet new people.

Locust serves mainly cider along with several beer options. There are several food places nearby.

All attendees are required to abide by the PuPPy Code of Conduct, you can read the Code of Conduct here: https://www.pspython.com/code-of-conduct/

After party to follow at Locust Cider Post Alley (1222 Post Alley, Seattle, WA 98101)

What we'll do:
This event will feature the following presentations:

Talk #1: Ambidexterity in R and Python
Speaker: Jared Anderson
Description: This talk is a timeline covering some tools used in the past to work with R and Python at the same time, and then goes into emerging technologies to further streamline the process for people (like myself) who either work with legacy R code or just prefer the syntax of Tidyverse, but also have to manage Python for other applications.

Lightning talk #1: TBD
Speaker: Troy Deck
Description: TBD

Talk #2: Who chooses the requirements
Speaker: Jeremiah Paige
Description: All modern software is the composition of independently developed projects. As a programmer you have some duty to record the relationship your project has to other projects in order to build and run correctly.It is tempting to think that you, the software author, or you the package maintainer, are in full control over what those requirements are, but you are not. This misunderstanding is the source of many errors. And when authors do discover this but instead of accept it they make a power grab, all they really do is contribute to "dependency hell".Don't add to dependency hell, add to the users' success and learn to live with less control.

What to bring:
Since this is a talk format meetup, you don't need a computer. Tacos will be provided by Arista Catering.
