    #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!

    #199: Charlie Marsh on ty, uv, and the Python tooling renaissance

    Charlie Marsh returns to Pybites to introduce ty —Astral’s bold new take on Python type checking. Built from the ground up for speed and developer experience, ty is both a command-line tool and language server, powered by Rust's Salsa framework.  We dive into how it enables lightning-fast incremental analysis, smarter diagnostics inspired by Rust, and a reimagined type-checking workflow for modern Python projects. Charlie also shares how Astral is tackling broader ecosystem challenges alongside Meta and NVIDIA.  Curious? Just run 'uv x ty' and join the future of Python type checking.  For more info check out the following: Notes & Blog Posts: https://notes.crmarsh.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshcharles/ GitHub: https://github.com/charliermarsh X: https://x.com/charliermarsh GitHub Repo: https://github.com/astral-sh/ty  Explaining rust-analyzer (lectures): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhb66M_x9UmrqXhQuIpWC5VgTdrGxMx3y ___ 💡🧑‍💻Level up your Python skills in just 6 weeks with our hands-on, mentor-led cohort program.

    #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.

    #195: Patterns, paradigms, and pythonic thinking with Rodrigo Girão Serrão

    In this ep, we chat with Rodrigo Girão Serrão about his journey from mathematician to Pythonista. What started as a colleague’s tip turned into 11 years of Python exploration. Rodrigo shares how his background in APL reshaped the way he writes Python, helping him embrace list comprehensions and functional patterns more intuitively. We dig into his latest side project—a bytecode compiler written in Python—and what that reveals about how Python really works under the hood. Rodrigo unpacks dunder methods, decorators, and how Python’s consistent design makes building elegant, expressive code a joy. He also shares great advice on giving talks: from deep diving into topics to letting ideas evolve before structuring a presentation. His love for community and clarity in coding is contagious. Whether you're new to Python or a seasoned dev, this conversation will give you a deeper appreciation for the language we all love.

    #194: Evolution, not extinction: why developers still matter in the age of AI

    In this episode, we dive into AI’s impact on software development with Matt Makai, VP of Developer Relations at DigitalOcean and creator of Full Stack Python.  We explore how AI tools are changing coding workflows—from elite devs like Miguel Grinberg and Armin Ronacher to Matt’s own work on the AI-powered PlushCap app. While some see friction, others embrace AI as a co-pilot. Matt shares why staying hands-on with code is key for tech leaders, and why, despite the hype, AI won’t replace developers—it’ll just reshape how we work.  Connect with Matt on socials: X: https://x.com/fullstackpython Github: https://github.com/mattmakai LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewmakai/ Matt's projects: Plushcap: https://www.plushcap.com/ Full Stack Python: https://www.fullstackpython.com/ DigitalOcean: https://www.digitalocean.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/digitalocean ___ Blogs mentioned: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/why-generative-ai-coding-tools-and-agents-do-not-work-for-me https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/6/12/agentic-coding/  ___ 💡🧑‍💻Level up your Python skills in just 6 weeks with our hands-on, mentor-led cohort program.
