2024 held the first Python conference for which I wasn't hosting a significant number of work-related activities, including hosting a sprint. After wandering lost for the first two days of sprints, I decided I was going to learn something new, and I knew who I wanted to teach me. This decision would result in major changes in my life, from finding a community and a purpose, to discovering trauma and a place to heal. In this talk, you'll learn how small changes to how you review code and interact with others can make an immense difference in how the interactions are perceived. Through my journey, I will share the lessons I learned about the importance of communication, learning from mistakes, and creating a safe space. Join me, and find out how you can make the most of opportunities to improve someone's life, including your own.
