Sunday 11:00 a.m.
Eyup, the market’s tough. How do you build SWE skills when everyone is telling you to “just do it in Claude”? What are the prospects of (trying) staying in tech as a junior developer? What are strategies to grow and find mentorship? Hangout space for junior devs to swap stories and lessons learned from PyCon.
Sunday 01:00 p.m.
Come chat with the Astral team (or, at least Zanie) about uv. Topics might include: installing Python, inline script metadata, installing tools, working on projects, using workspaces, packaging woes, build systems, packaging security, writing Rust, etc.
Sunday 02:00 p.m.
The self-contained Python distribution used by uv, pipx, poetry, and and several other tools. Come chat with maintainers of python-build-standalone about the build itself, why you'd want to use it, any issues you're having, how we build a portable distribution of Python, or just generally about building and packaging Python itself. (You can also join us early at the uv open space in the same room, starting at 1 PM!)
