Based on YouTube thumbnails in the finance, tech, and career spaces I should assume the end of civilization is just weeks away.
The number of people with new opinions on how many employees a company needs is insane when they:
1) Have no idea how the company works
2) Have never built software/applications
Community feedback is the driving force behind everything we do. Have your voice heard and help us make conda even better!
#conda Package and Environment Manager users, we want to hear from you! Complete a survey about your experience using conda, and enter a raffle for a chance to win a $150 Amazon gift-card. forms.gle/tj9froz7nZzBgKqm8 Results will be published and used to guide future direction

AI/ML is a great tool but one of the last you should reach for to solve most problem. Unless it's commoditized (like sentiment analysis) it very well might be the wrong approach and isn't a panacea.
GitHub Copilot just suggested this youtube link to me. Damn you AI. Have we gone too far? 'youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9Wg…'
This is a huge step in ensuring the future of the conda project is a bright one! Shoutout to the internal Anaconda team as well as all those in the community that have been shepherding this effort.
We're excited to announce an update to the conda governance policy, e.g.:
- Steering council with max. number of members per funding source
- Provisional memberships
- Application for fiscal sponsorship via NumFOCUS nonprofit
- New Code of Conduct!

The new GitHub feature to sort issues by a specific emoji has been lots of fun. Projects should be prioritized by rocket ships. 🚀
Plugins are going to be a big deal... Really excited to work with the team on this.
In which @chenghlee gives a lightning talk at #SciPy2022 about conda in 2022: faster; community focus.
Libmamba solver, conda-index, plugin architecture, release schedule and deprecation policies, CEPs(!), new Code of Conduct, governance updates.

Let's not overfit on past mental models. The dot com crash saw the NASDAQ drop ~75%. Today the top companies are printing real money and not dreams. Outside of (potentially) blockchain/crypto we aren't going to see the same results.
