Sorry Guido but it’s BDFL — for LIFE! Just kidding and Thanks Guido for all you’ve done for the Python community.

But he is still the BDFL, he's just on permanent vacation.

Have you tried reaching software engineers on vacation? “Sorry I’ll be camping on some rock on Mars where I’ll have spotty internet access so....”

Whenever they say that they either mean they only have 2G connection or they somehow managed to get a Gbit satellite phone so they could be online several hours a day from the woods

Am I one of the few that is away from work when on vacation? I don't even bring my work phone unless I'm more than an hour's drive from my house.

When I'm on vacation, I'm working on me. Not for the company.
