    #205: Building reactive Python notebooks with Marimo

    Marimo is redefining what a Python notebook can do—bringing structure, version control, and interactivity together. In this episode, we chat with Akshay Agrawal, co-founder and CEO of Marimo, about how their reactive Python notebook fixes hidden state, keeps outputs in sync, and makes reproducible, reviewable code the norm. Akshay shares Marimo’s origin story, how its reactive DAG turns notebooks into clean, Git-friendly tools, and why teams are ditching Jupyter-to-Streamlit pipelines for simpler, reactive workflows. We also dive into performance, data handling with pandas/Polars via Narwhals, and SQL reactivity with DuckDB. Join us in this insightful episode as we talk with Akshay about reproducibility, data workflows, and turning prototypes into shareable apps.

    #204: The science of open science - with Leah Wasser, founder of pyOpenSci

    What if the most valuable part of your research isn’t the paper, but the package that made it possible? In this episode, we talk with Leah Wasser, Executive Director and Founder of pyOpenSci, a nonprofit working to make scientific Python more inclusive, reproducible, and discoverable. We explore what “open science” really means in practice: transparent workflows that others can rerun, review, and extend. Leah explains how pyOpenSci’s peer review process helps turn lab scripts into reliable, citable Python packages with better documentation, testing, and credit through the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS). We also unpack how AI is reshaping scientific coding—its potential to speed up work, and the need for careful human oversight to maintain accuracy and trust.

    #203: Automating API Documentation with Zylosystems

    If you’ve ever stayed up late churning out API docs when you’d rather be anywhere else, you’ll relate to this week’s guest. Nick Park felt that same pain as a server engineer, which pushed him to build Zylo-docs, an AI tool that takes the grunt work out of documentation. Nick’s journey has been anything but linear—from AWS trainer to experimenting with generative AI in the fashion world, before realising his real passion was helping developers.  In this episode, we talk about following your passion, finding product-market fit, and being open to pivots along the way. Check out Zylo-docs on PyPI or their site to find out more.

    #201: Transforming military discipline into Python skills with PDI

    Christina Lang’s journey from nearly two decades in the military to becoming a DevOps architect shows how discipline, persistence, and a growth mindset can drive career transitions. She shares how the Pybites PDI course helped her rapidly level up her Python skills, the importance of being “humble but hungry” when learning, and how mentorship and structured practice make tackling new challenges achievable.  Christina also discusses the unique hurdles veterans face when moving into civilian tech, from cultural adjustments to communication styles, and how their dedication and resilience make them valuable team members once they adapt. Today, Christina applies Python to networking automation, building modules for specific tasks and exploring cloud deployments with OpenTofu, AWS, and Kubernetes. For anyone hesitating to take the next step in Python, Christina encourages: “If you don’t feel ready… you probably are. Just pull the trigger, just do it.” Christina's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christina-lang25 Pybites Developer Initialization Program for Veterans: https://pybit.es/veterans/ Pybites Podcast 118 - Veterans in the workplace, challenges and tips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swg0hj6BPJE  ___ If you found this podcast helpful, please consider following us!

    #198: Tim Hopper on UV and smarter Python development

    Python development has changed a lot over the years, and Tim Hopper has been right there with it. In this episode, we chat about the tools that are shaping modern Python workflows—like UV, a fast package manager aiming to improve the developer experience.  Tim also tells us about creating the Python Developer Tooling Handbook, a practical resource full of short, easy-to-follow guides for developers at any level. We dig into his open source contributions, the ups and downs of job searching in tech, and the small tooling choices that can have a big impact on how we write code.  Whether you’re just getting started or well into your Python journey, there’s plenty to take away from this conversation.  Get in touch: Tim's Website: https://tdhopper.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tdhopper/ X: https://x.com/tdhopper GitHub: https://github.com/tdhopper ___ 💡🧑‍💻Level up your Python skills in just 6 weeks with our hands-on, mentor-led cohort program.
