The End
That’s it, Summer of Code ends in a few minutes. I could list technical achievements and lessons learned here. But the most valuable thing for me about SoC are the people I met. A few months ago it would have seemed absurd that I would personally meet and work with such Python luminaries as Armin, Samuele, Holger or Christian. Spending two weeks with them and the equally incredible rest of the PyPy lot made me humble. In a good way. It made me realize how much I can still learn and resparked some of that fire in me, that drive to dig deeper and try hard to solve interesting problems, toned down lately by half-assed university courses and uninspiring web programming jobs. I’m truly grateful for this. Thanks Google and thanks PyPy.
This blog has served its purpose and is hereby closed. Starting tomorrow, I’ll spend at least a month in the northern regions of Europe. To entertain family and friends, I decided to give photoblogging a try. Here’s my Flickr photostream in case anyone else is interested.
