I recently hosted an episode of Software Engineering Radio called "Will McGugan on Text-Based User Interfaces"!

from rich.console import Console
console = Console()
console.print(

🚀 Hi! I'm a researcher, teacher, podcaster, and software developer!

Innovating in technical areas such as software engineering and software testing, I teach courses, conduct research, write papers and a blog, give presentations, create software, and serve organizations. Working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at Allegheny College, I am an associate editor for the Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, an academic editor for the PeerJ Computer Science journal, a program committee member for conferences like the International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation and the International Conference on Software Engineering, and a reviewer for journals like Transactions on Software Engineering and the Journal of Software Testing, Verification and Reliability. Along with media appearances on podcasts like Stack Overflow and Talk Python, I interview the world’s leading experts on software engineering as a co-host of Software Engineering Radio. You can learn more about me and my work by reading my biography, downloading my curriculum vitae, and subscribing to my mailing list.

Two surprises today. I'm at INBOX sub-100 for the first time in FAR longer than I'd like to admit and I'm going to PyOhio somewhat spur of the moment next week. See you there?

Does anyone have advice or tricks to optimizing Docker on a Windows laptop?

I was pair programming with our GSoC student to run Python tests on docker, but it seems like it takes forever to start up that docker container on her Windows laptop.

Perhaps there's something in the settings we should tweak?
I don't use windows and not an expert at using Docker, so I don't know how to help.

🚀 Whether or not you are a #Python or #rustlang programmer, I'm confident that you will enjoy this interview I recently published with Samuel Colvin about the Pydantic Ecosystem of tools.

🤝 Pydantic is a data validation framework that, we could say, serves as the foundation for Pydantic AI and Pydantic Logfire.
