At PyCon US 2018, I gave my talk What is a Python Core Developer.

It was emotionally difficult to give that talk 🥲

I went to Mitchell’s HomeMade Ice cream to celebrate.

After giving my talk, Dial M For Mentor, I was feeling quite stressed out. My friend Jeff asked if there’s anything that would make me feel better, and I said “I wanna go get ice cream”. So we went to this place that he knew about.

At that time, I didn’t consider Ice Cream Selfie to be a “thing” yet, but I think this is when it becomes a real “tradition”.

My first ever conference talk, and my first ever Ice Cream Selfie! The rest is history.

Trio Gelato from Capogiro Gelato: Cappucino, Pistachio, and Bacio.

While my public speaking and ice cream selfies continues, sadly Capogiro Gelato Artisans has since closed down. 😢
