This document summarizes Paul Everitt's presentation about his experiences with Python, Zope, Plone and Pyramid over the past 20 years. Some of the key lessons learned included avoiding original sins like hype and hiding the use of Python, knowing not to change too much and recognizing you can't be something you're not, and that people are the most important part of any project. Everitt emphasized the importance of humility, authenticity and focusing on bringing joy and purpose to one's work.
