Oof, that hits hard. You got me to check; apparently it's been over a year and a half in my case. On the plus side, it involved praising him for his work on faster-than-quadratic int<->str conversion (https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/90716) (which seems to be related to the introduction of Karatsuba multiplication, and to the existence of _pydecimal, although I only really grasped the details in the moment) and getting excited about my then-upcoming blog redesign. Good memories.
