It was a pleasure and great fun to chat to @mkennedy on @TalkPython - we did a deep dive into the technical aspects of how we built Foundry120 and apply agentic AI to accelerate translational science in IBD and the principles that can generalise beyond IBD. We discussed Django, the practicalities of handling big datasets, using Azure and my journey into programming. Check it out here:

Just shipped a big update to the Talk Python Training app! Rebuilt on the latest Flutter, iPad & Android tablet support, way better offline handling, smoother video playback, and a pile of fixes. If you've got courses, take them on the go.

Introducing the new Talk Python web player.
It starts out minimal, but once you trigger it, you can change the playback speed, it remembers your position, and , it shows the transcript live below the player so you don’t miss a word.

Does any one know whether Claude Mythos was shared with the CPython team to check for issues before its impending release? How about with web framework teams like FastAPI, Flask, Pydantic, etc? Web server projects like nginx?

Any recommendations on who to invite for a "self-hosted apps" topic on @talkpython?
They don't need to be the creator of a self hosted app necessarily, but Python-leaning and experienced in self-hosting web apps is the key. (You can invite yourself).

New essay: Cutting Python Web App Memory Over 31%
I reduced Python web app memory by 3.2 GB using async workers, import isolation, the Raw+DC database pattern, and disk caching. Detailed before and after numbers for each technique.
