Ed's recent post about the 2010 Dabo video made me wonder about Paul. Anybody know what he's up to nowadays? Haven't seen him here in years.
I answered my own question. He's apparently the Engineering Director at Lucid Design Group (Acuity Brands) in Hollister, CA.

Paul and I still keep in touch. We were supposed to get together in person for the last two PyCons (thanks, COVID!), but maybe next year.

Hey Michael and all!
Still here, still slinging the code, more devopsy/infrastructure/architecture/time-series db (cassandra) these days. I sort of fell into directing a team of 8 super-smart developers and have learned a lot. Currently trying to get up to speed with kubernetes and cloud-native yada yada after years of perfecting our docker swarm and saltstack orchestrations to virtual machines.
Say hey on linkedin, I've been more present there lately as I'm also looking for new opportunities, sort of lazily admittedly.
Cheers, I missing hanging out with the Fox folk, and while I wonder how you are still hanging on, part of me admires your tenacity! I do miss desktop app development and not needing a team of fronties, full stacks, product managers, ops and security people to stand up an enterprise app.
Paul

That's the thing with today's latest/greatest....seems like you need many more parts now to make it work. I'm probably mistaken, though, as why would it cost you more today (via all these other parts) to stand up apps compared to yesteryear?
