pre-commit.ci autofix

Thanks for the contribution! To fix the style checks, you can use pre-commit:

$ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit run --all-files --show-diff-on-failure --color always

Ah okay, great, thank you @jarrodmillman!

@WillTirone Once you've addressed the two issues above I am happy when ever @tupui decides its ready.

@tupui Should we move this into a subfolder. Maybe we will see more posts like this. We could also do it after merging this if you want. But I was thinking something like first-contribution , testimonials, community-stories, or something. I am happy with whatever you think makes sense.

[melissawm]

+1 for community-stories, love it!

[WillTirone]

This is a great testimony, thank you @WillTirone.

If you want, you could talk a bit more about what you do in your internship. Though the post is already good enough like that. Maybe a follow up if you have some code to show with SciPy wink

I agree with you @jarrodmillman. I would vote for community-stories (I am thinking we could try to make a list of folks and ask them to do that too).

Will, could you create this folder and move your story there? And then change the tag to something like stories, testimony, or else.

Sure! I can move something into community stories.

And for specifics, I don't know what I'm actually allowed to say or post. I had to get the media relations team to approve it and I would hate to have to ask them to re-approve it, so I'll just let it stay like this if that's okay :)

[tupui]

Sure no problem 😃 I was more thinking about another article once you are done with the internship.

[WillTirone]

Sorry we were not clear, the hierarchy should be:

content/posts/community-stories/will_tirone

oh, whoops, yes that makes more sense! One second.

[tupui]

mmm I tried to push some updates on your branch but it does not seem to update for some reason. (Maybe because you used your main branch instead of another branch for the PR.)

The folder hierarchy should be content/posts/community-stories/will_tirone

So you need to create: content/posts/community-stories and here add an empty _index.md. Then you can add your folder will_tirone with its current content.

For the tags, replace "Scientific-Python" with "testimonial"

[WillTirone]

Oops, sorry, was making changes on Codespaces and didn't think about branching. Should be fixed now?
