I enjoy tutorials like this, in the same way and for the same reasons that I enjoy videos where people make cutting tools out of obsidian that they chip by hand.
Personally, though, when I have to actually cut something, I use stainless steel knives or scissors, which are cheap and readily available and do a much better job. Same with pull requests. But historical reenactment can be a fun pastime.
So, some people were acting immaturely at a tech conference, violating the CoC. They offended someone with their antics, and most likely embarrassed their employer, a sponsor of said conference.
The employer might have been a bit knee-jerk in their reaction, but maybe not. No matter how many children you've got, publicly embarrassing the company at a sponsored event is certainly ample grounds for termination.
I am not a member of the python community. But I've gotta say, it's nice to see that it was handled in the way that it was.
And then you people. This Hacker News crowd. Jesus H Christ. You're talking about how Adria failed to use her power responsibly? Give me a break. If I was sitting where she was, I might have done the same exact thing. When you are childish in public, and behave in a manner that the organizers of a community event do not want you to behave, you get kicked out. When you make an ass of yourself while waiving a company logo around, you can expect to have your career impacted.
It's unfortunate that such an example was made of them. It is not a wise strategic move, clearly, because doing so mobilizes the asshat army, as we're seeing.
