PyCon 2022
“Works on my machine”: The cry of developers who can’t reproduce a bug because their development environment is incompatible with their deployment environment… In this talk, we’ll explore how Pantsbuild enables truly hermetic builds. We’ll look at other approaches to sandboxing and how they compare to Pants’ approach, and how you can benefit from adding hermetic builds to your project. You’ll walk away being confident that “works on my machine” means “works everywhere”.

How-To
How we streamlined Apple M1 Support with self-hosted Github Actions runners
We ended up setting up a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner, on a hosted Mac M1. Getting the machine itself up and running was easy, thanks to MacStadium’s simple, effective UX. But setting up the GHA runner on it was a little trickier, for a couple of reasons…

Multiple lockfiles in Python repos
Dependency hell is the bane of modern projects & microservices. We’re excited about Pants’ new hybrid approach that avoids costs of a lockfile per project, while giving you more flexibility than one lockfile for your entire repository…

Effective monorepos with Pants
Working effectively in a monorepo requires appropriate tooling. While Pants can be a really useful system in repos of all sizes and architectures, it has some features that make it particularly appealing in a monorepo setting…

"🙌🏻 I truly love the @GitHub Action that welcomes new contributors to a repository...
https://t.co/59zpM6UOz5. The open-source world doesn’t feature enough positivity, and it can be daunting to submit code for review. This makes the process feel much friendlier / welcoming. 🤗” –@dynamicwebpaige
