Make AI Work With Any Codebase This talk shares practical strategies from a real-world project integrating AI into development workflow. What works,   what doesn't, and how to structure code so AI tools can help without degrading ...

Some coders have the budget and time to play with all the latest LLMs and various AI tools.

That's not me.

My budget for tools is $0. I have little spare time.

I still get stuff done with AI.

For free join me and Isaac Flath as we talk about it on August 5th.

I mean multiple spoken, historical languages 🙂

What is the status quo for open source libaries handling multiple languages in a Python app with GitHub as version control? What should I use?

Pretend I'm an absolute newbie supporting users reading and writing in multiple languages. Sticking with one language is not an option.

What's the best contributor-friendly way to handle multiple languages in an open source Python project using git for version control?

Super excited for this talk next week with @pydanny and @isaac_flath!

Two people who understand web frameworks went on a journey to built the ultimate one, using AI every step of the way, and have so much experience to share. This is going to be awesome!

Zapier started in a hackathon.

Unpack for keyword arguments Keyword arguments can now be more narrowly typed by using typing.Unpack and typing.TypeDict.

Thanks to Luke Plant I wrote about typing.Unpack.

I had fun figuring out where Python catches the types and where it just lets things slide.

Is this a new show?

Today I'm marvelling at @miguelgrinberg.com's Microdot framework. Concise yet understandable code. Lovely in-line documentation.

I've always respected his work, today I'm in awe of it.

TIL: How to type args and kwargs A reduction in boilerplate confused me, the answer is that the type to define is the value in the containers.

Thanks to @willmcgugan.bsky.social for making this TIL possible. 😃

Thanks for the guidance and example package. ❤️

As always, you are awesome. 🙌

Can you link to a package of yours that does it well?

Just figured out something in uv: only having to set version once in your package!

Wow, looks awesome! Got a link to it?

In 2020 I was offered a role at Astronomer, instead I went with Kraken Tech working to save the planet. I had zero regrets then and if possible have even more zero regrets now.

Polls show that 80% of professional software developers consider themselves self-taught, even those with a "formal CS education".

That's why I tend to ignore articles or labels about being self-taught, it's a meaningless term.

A Python script which plays sounds whenever exceptions occur

The Zen of Python says "Errors should never pass silently.". Here is a solution for that problem.

Switched a small project (913 LOC) from mypy to @astral_sh's ty:

1. Local CI checks non-cached went from ~31 seconds to under 1 second
2. Same checks on GH actions went from ~30 seconds to ~15 seconds

I respect mypy--prototyping types is hard. Yet I look forward to moving on.

Decided to go with "Jinja" because 1) it was more popular in discussions about it and 2) it is how Jinja refers to itself.

Going oldschool with asking questions in social media:

How do you get Ruff to format only the code examples within markdown files? Can it do this or do I need to write a tool to make it happen?

Does Central America count? PyCon Latin America is in Costa Rica and if we were on your continent that would be quite the temptation.

I'm writing code and docs about Jinja2 templates, how should I refer to it?

- "jinja2" (classic name but we're on version 3.1.6 of it)
- "jinja" (shorter but pedants might have an issue)

Is it just me or have GitHub pages-hosted sites intermittently been very slow for the past few weeks?

Finally moved into the new place, kid is in her new school, and I have time to sit and code.

However, my daughter is next to me doing homework for school. She's building apps in Scratch. It's so cute and distracting.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Parenthood is awesome. 🙂

I 100% agree with this statement
