Jess Berman is the Chief Brand Officer and co-owner of BodyBio, a family-owned supplement brand redefining cellular health through premium, science-backed formulations. Built at the intersection of clinical credibility and modern digital commerce, BodyBio is helping bridge the gap between practitioner-trusted products and direct-to-consumer wellness, making elite cellular health accessible to more people than ever before.After spending years deeply connected to BodyBio's practitioner roots, Jess stepped into a leadership role during a pivotal shift: moving the business from B2B-only to a thriving DTC brand. What began as a family legacy focused on scientific excellence evolved into a broader mission of education, access, and brand storytelling, bringing cellular health out of the doctor's office and into everyday routines.Though she didn't come from a traditional DTC background, Jess brings strategic clarity to every stage of growth, navigating channel tradeoffs, building dual B2B and DTC ecosystems, and balancing hyper-targeted paid media with high-trust organic growth.Whether discussing how BodyBio fixed its reliance on branded traffic, why affiliate funnels outperformed typical influencer playbooks, or how brand guidelines helped unify internal teams and external agencies, Jess offers a transparent and tactical perspective on scaling a modern wellness brand without sacrificing trust.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:43] Intro[01:52] Rebuilding websites to unlock conversions[03:16] Growing brand awareness through omnichannel[04:26] Bootstrapping marketing with a two-person team[05:40] Managing fulfillment while scaling DTC[07:18] Finding new customers through authority partners[09:31] Testing creative angles to convert cold traffic[11:34] Leading growth through transparency and story[12:21] Episode Sponsors: Electric Eye, Reach & Zamp[15:52] Defining brand guidelines before scaling online[17:52] Testing incrementality before scaling Amazon[18:48] Skipping short-term wins for long-term brand health[20:48] Preparing for shoppable AI disrupting searchResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeSupplements Made From Science https://bodybio.com/Follow Jess Berman https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesshkaneSchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectLevel up your global sales withreach.com/honest Fully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
Every year the core developers of Python convene in person to focus on high priority topics for CPython and beyond. This year they met at PyCon US 2025. Those meetings are closed door to keep focused and productive. But we're lucky that Seth Michael Larson was in attendance and wrote up each topic presented and the reactions and feedback to each. We'll be exploring this year's Language Summit with Seth. It's quite insightful to where Python is going and the pressing matters.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: Switching to direnv, Starship, and uv Last week I mentioned that I'm ready to try direnv again, but secretly, I still had some worries about the process. Thankfully, Trey has a tutorial to walk me past the troublesome parts. direnv - an extension for your shell. It augments existing shells with a new feature that can load and unload environment variables depending on the current directory. Switching from virtualenvwrapper to direnv, Starship, and uv - Trey Hunner** Trey has solved a bunch of the problems I had when I tried direnv before Show the virtual environment name in the prompt Place new virtual environments in local .venv instead of in .direnv/python3.12 Silence all of the “loading”, “unloading” statements every time you enter a directory Have a script called venv to create an environment, activate it, create a .envrc file I'm more used to a create script, so I'll stick with that name and Trey's contents A workon script to be able to switch around to different projects. This is a carry over from “virtualenvwrapper', but seems cool. I'll take it. Adding uv to the mix for creating virtual environments. Interestingly including --seed which, for one, installs pip in the new environment. (Some tools need it, even if you don't) Starship Trey also has some setup for Starship. But I'll get through the above first, then MAYBE try Starship again. Some motivation Trey's setup is pretty simple. Maybe I was trying to get too fancy before Starship config in toml files that can be loaded with direnv and be different for different projects. Neato Also, Trey mentions his dotfiles repo. This is a cool idea that I've been meaning to do for a long time. See also: It's Terminal - Bootstrapping With Starship, Just, Direnv, and UV - Mario Munoz Michael #2: rqlite - Distributed SQLite DB via themlu, thanks! rqlite is a lightweight, user-friendly, distributed relational database built on SQLite. Built on SQLite, the world's most popular database Supports full-text search, Vector Search, and JSON documents Access controls and encryption for secure deployments Michael #3: A Python dict that can report which keys you did not use by Peter Bengtsson Very cool for testing that a dictionary has been used as expected (e.g. all data has been sent out via an API or report). Note: It does NOT track d.get(), but it's easy to just add it to the class in the post. Maybe someone should polish it up and put it on pypi (that person is not me :) ). Brian #4: Some Markdown Stuff Textual 4.0.0 adds Markdown.append which can be used to efficiently stream markdown content The reason for the major bump is due to an interface change to Widget.anchor Refreshing to see a symantic change cause a major version bump. html-to-markdown Converts html to markdown A complete rewrite fork of markdownify Lots of fun features like “streaming support” Curious if it can stream to Textual's Markdown.append method. hmmm. Joke: Vibecon is hard to attend

Julie De Angulo is the VP of Ecommerce and Digital at Bajio Sunglasses, a premium polarized fishing eyewear brand purpose-built for serious anglers, from saltwater flats to bass tournaments. Bajio combines Patent Pending LAPIS lens technology with hyper-targeted storytelling to serve one of the most gear-obsessed subcultures in outdoor retail. Julie leads the charge in turning that product obsession into a scalable digital channel, anchored in retention, merchandising, and cultural fluency.Before joining Bajio, Julie spent nearly two decades in Ecommerce and digital marketing, scaling brands across home goods, pet supplements, fashion, and accessories. Her background in mass communications gave her a sharp instinct for message-market fit, one she's since sharpened into a full-funnel skillset spanning email, SMS, SEO, and paid acquisition. At Bajio, she joined when the brand had little to no Ecommerce presence, and has since built a high-performing revenue channel from the ground up.Whether breaking down how to tell product stories that resonate with niche audiences, mapping customer journeys from first click to long-term loyalty, or translating brand values into conversion-focused creative, Julie brings a tactical yet brand-led perspective to Ecommerce strategy. She shares what it takes to grow when you're starting from zero, why not all anglers are created equal, and how to build sustainable foundations that scale with authenticity.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:38] Intro[00:49] Focusing on a passionate niche audience[02:19] Building a scalable foundation for growth[04:31] Learning early that data drives everything[06:32] Repositioning a brand beyond wholesale[07:54] Tailoring messages to regional fishing niches[10:00] Hiring guides instead of paid influencers[11:18] Separating community from ad creative[12:37] Electric Eye, Social Snowball, Portless, Reach & Zamp[18:59] Contributing to a mission-led product story[20:53] Scaling small brands with real impact[22:23] Balancing SKU simplicity with flexibility[25:03] Responding to viral demand with local supply[25:53] Forecasting smarter with predictive analyticsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeFlorida-based polarized sunglasses for fishing https://bajiosunglasses.com/Follow Julie De Angulo https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianadeanguloSchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectDrive revenue through affiliates & referrals socialsnowball.io/honestRevolutionize your inventory and fulfillment process portless.com/Level up your global sales withreach.com/honestFully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Jeremy Horowitz is the Managing Partner of Because Ventures and the creator of Let's Buy a Biz!, a media brand and private equity-backed content engine built to make ecommerce M&A more transparent, data-driven, and founder-friendly. Because Ventures is a private equity search fund focused on acquiring and scaling Shopify brands and apps, while Let's Buy a Biz! documents what it actually takes to grow Top 1% ecommerce businesses.Before launching either venture, Jeremy worked across every layer of the Shopify ecosystem from scaling high-growth DTC brands like Lumi, to leading growth at top-performing Shopify apps like Gorgias. His on-the-ground experience gave him a front-row seat to what really drives retention, profit, and valuation. Now, through Because Ventures, Jeremy applies that knowledge to acquire and operate ecommerce businesses with sustainable margins and focused stacks.Whether debunking the myth that “every brand needs subscriptions,” tracking the 84% adoption rate of email/SMS across $1M+ stores, or predicting which app categories will consolidate over the next five years, Jeremy brings a deep analytical lens to ecommerce strategy. He shares insights from crawling 103,000 Shopify stores, explains why most loyalty programs fail, and urges founders to simplify their tech stack before adding complexity. His story is a masterclass in using real data, not hype to guide business decisions.In This Conversation We Discuss: [00:40] Intro[00:55] Scaling DTC brands to eight figures[02:03] Expanding beyond Shopify Plus assumptions[04:18] Filtering out inactive and duplicate stores[05:05] Highlighting the top 10 most used apps[09:08] Focusing on what actually drives growth[10:56] Comparing native vs third-party app adoption[12:23] Spotting analytics as a breakout category[14:11] Explaining why real CRO starts at $5M+[16:49] Spotting support as an underused category[18:29] Unpacking the subscription model myth[22:47] Auditing app stacks to save thousandsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeEcommerce Social Impact Fund because.ventures/index.htmlInsider analysis of the largest Ecommerce brands' financials letsbuyabiz.xyz/Follow Jeremy Horowitz linkedin.com/in/jeremyhorowitz1If you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Even if your setter accepts different types, the type checker will complain on assignment.” Will describes a way to get around this and make type checkers happy. He replaces @property with a descriptor. It's a cool technique. I also like the way Will is allowing different ways to use a property such that it's more convenient for the user. This is a cool deverloper usability trick. Brian #3: complexipy Calculates the cognitive complexity of Python files, written in Rust. Based on the cognitive complexity measurement described in a white paper by Sonar Cognitive complexity builds on the idea of cyclomatic complexity. Cyclomatic complexity was intended to measure the “testability and maintainability” of the control flow of a module. Sonar argues that it's fine for testability, but doesn't do well with measuring the “maintainability” part. So they came up with a new measure. Cognitive complexity is intended to reflects the relative difficulty of understanding, and therefore of maintaining methods, classes, and applications. complexipy essentially does that, but also has a really nice color output. Note: at the very least, you should be using “cyclomatic complexity” try with ruff check --select C901 But also try complexipy. Great for understanding which functions might be ripe for refactoring, adding more documentation, surrounding with more tests, etc. Michael #4: juvio uv kernel for Jupyter ⚙️ Automatic Environment Setup: When the notebook is opened, Juvio installs the dependencies automatically in an ephemeral virtual environment (using uv), ensuring that the notebook runs with the correct versions of the packages and Python
Lucy Jeffrey is the founder of Bare Kind and Candid Founders, two purpose-driven brands built from a mission to make commerce more meaningful. Bare Kind is a bamboo sock company that donates 10% of profits to save the animal featured on each sock, while Candid Founders is both a YouTube channel and growth agency helping consumer brands scale on Faire, a leading B2B wholesale marketplace.Before launching either company, Lucy worked in banking and began experimenting with ecommerce by selling reusable straws, t-shirts, and other sustainable products. Her viral turtle-themed content and strong brand mission helped Bare Kind stand out in the crowded DTC space and grow into a seasonal powerhouse, with 70% of revenue landing in Q4. But with a growing team and cash flow challenges, Lucy co-founded Candid Founders to help other brands succeed on Faire while smoothing Bare Kind's revenue curve.Whether scaling to 1,000+ retail accounts, turning her backend team into a profitable service business, or shutting off paid Meta ads to improve profit margins, Lucy brings a sharp, experimental mindset to Ecommerce. She shares insights on building sustainable DTC brands, making wholesale work, and running two businesses with her husband without relying on outside capital or paid ads. Her story is a masterclass in founder adaptability.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:40] Intro[00:55] Launching with purpose before product clarity[02:50] Choosing a name that allows you to pivot[03:40] Starting with dropshipping to test demand[05:37] Hiring help before scaling ad spend[08:09] Comparing traction between early SKUs[10:07] Electric Eye, Social Snowball, Portless, Reach & Zamp[16:29] Avoiding traps in commoditized markets[18:48] Educating retailers to build trust fast[22:25] Listening to demand before launching services[24:07] Turning internal wins into client services[26:22] Plugging the DTC and wholesale channelsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeFaire growth agency that helps brands thrive candidfounders.com/Comfy, vibrant animal socks that save the world's animals barekind.co.uk/Follow Lucy Jeffrey linkedin.com/in/lucy-jeffreySchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectDrive revenue through affiliates & referrals socialsnowball.io/honestRevolutionize your inventory and fulfillment process portless.com/Level up your global sales withreach.com/honest Fully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Today on Elixir Wizards, hosts Sundi Myint and Charles Suggs catch up with Sean Moriarity, co-creator of the Nx project and author of Machine Learning in Elixir. Sean reflects on his transition from the military to a civilian job building large language models (LLMs) for software. He explains how the Elixir ML landscape has evolved since the rise of ChatGPT, shifting from building native model implementations toward orchestrating best-in-class tools. We discuss the pragmatics of adding ML to Elixir apps: when to start with out-of-the-box LLMs vs. rolling your own, how to hook into Python-based libraries, and how to tap Elixir's distributed computing for scalable workloads. Sean closes with advice for developers embarking on Elixir ML projects, from picking motivating use cases to experimenting with domain-specific languages for AI-driven workflows. Key topics discussed in this episode: The evolution of the Nx (Numerical Elixir) project and what's new with ML in Elixir Treating Elixir as an orchestration layer for external ML tools When to rely on off-the-shelf LLMs vs. custom models Strategies for integrating Elixir with Python-based ML libraries Leveraging Elixir's distributed computing strengths for ML tasks Starting ML projects with existing data considerations Synthetic data generation using large language models Exploring DSLs to streamline AI-powered business logic Balancing custom frameworks and service-based approaches in production Pragmatic advice for getting started with ML in Elixir Links mentioned: https://hexdocs.pm/nx/intro-to-nx.html https://pragprog.com/titles/smelixir/machine-learning-in-elixir/ https://magic.dev/ https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s10-e10-sean-moriarity-machine-learning-elixir/ Pragmatic Bookshelf: https://pragprog.com/ ONNX Runtime Bindings for Elixir: https://github.com/elixir-nx/ortex https://github.com/elixir-nx/bumblebee Silero Voice Activity Detector: https://github.com/snakers4/silero-vad Paulo Valente Graph Splitting Article: https://dockyard.com/blog/2024/11/06/2024/nx-sharding-update-part-1 Thomas Millar's Twitter https://x.com/thmsmlr https://github.com/thmsmlr/instructorex https://phoenix.new/ https://tidewave.ai/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BERT(language_model) Talk: PyTorch: Fast Differentiable Dynamic Graphs in Python (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am895oU6mmY) by Soumith Chintala https://hexdocs.pm/axon/Axon.html https://hexdocs.pm/exla/EXLA.html VLM (Vision Language Models Explained): https://huggingface.co/blog/vlms https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp Vector Search in Elixir: https://github.com/elixir-nx/hnswlib https://www.amplified.ai/ Llama 4 https://mistral.ai/ Mistral Open-Source LLMs: https://mistral.ai/ https://github.com/openai/whisper Elixir Wizards Season 5: Adopting Elixir https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/season-five https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-overview/index.html https://hexdocs.pm/flame/FLAME.html https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/ https://fly.io/ https://kubernetes.io/ WireGuard VPNs https://www.wireguard.com/ https://hexdocs.pm/phoenixpubsub/Phoenix.PubSub.html https://www.manning.com/books/deep-learning-with-python Code BEAM 2025 Keynote: Designing LLM Native Systems - Sean Moriarity Ash Framework https://ash-hq.org/ Sean's Twitter: https://x.com/seanmoriarity Sean's Personal Blog: https://seanmoriarity.com/ Erlang Ecosystems Foundation Slack: https://erlef.org/slack-invite/erlef Elixir Forum https://elixirforum.com/ Sean's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-m-ba231a149/ Special Guest: Sean Moriarity.
Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
Are you using Polars for your data science work? Maybe you've been sticking with the tried-and-true Pandas? There are many benefits to Polars directly of course. But you might not be aware of all the excellent tools and libraries that make Polars even better. Examples include Patito which combines Pydantic and Polars for data validation and polars_encryption which adds AES encryption to selected columns. We have Christopher Trudeau back on Talk Python To Me to tell us about his list of excellent libraries to power up your Polars game and we also talk a bit about his new Polars course.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: Free-threaded Python no longer “experimental” as of Python 3.14 “PEP 779 ("Criteria for supported status for free-threaded Python") has been accepted, which means free-threaded Python is now a supported build!” - Hugo van Kemenade PEP 779 – Criteria for supported status for free-threaded Python As noted in the discussion of PEP 779, “The Steering Council (SC) approves PEP 779, with the effect of removing the “experimental” tag from the free-threaded build of Python 3.14.” We are in Phase II then. “We are confident that the project is on the right path, and we appreciate the continued dedication from everyone working to make free-threading ready for broader adoption across the Python community.” “Keep in mind that any decision to transition to Phase III, with free-threading as the default or sole build of Python is still undecided, and dependent on many factors both within CPython itself and the community. We leave that decision for the future.” How long will all this take? According to Thomas Wouters, a few years, at least: “In other words: it'll be a few years at least. It can't happen before 3.16 (because we won't have Stable ABI support until 15) and may well take longer.” Michael #2: typed-ffmpeg typed-ffmpeg offers a modern, Pythonic interface to FFmpeg, providing extensive support for complex filters with detailed typing and documentation. Inspired by ffmpeg-python, this package enhances functionality by addressing common limitations, such as lack of IDE integration and comprehensive typing, while also introducing new features like JSON serialization of filter graphs and automatic FFmpeg validation. Features : Zero Dependencies: Built purely with the Python standard library, ensuring maximum compatibility and security. User-Friendly: Simplifies the construction of filter graphs with an intuitive Pythonic interface. Comprehensive FFmpeg Filter Support: Out-of-the-box support for most FFmpeg filters, with IDE auto-completion. Integrated Documentation: In-line docstrings provide immediate reference for filter usage, reducing the need to consult external documentation. Robust Typing: Offers static and dynamic type checking, enhancing code reliability and development experience. Filter Graph Serialization: Enables saving and reloading of filter graphs in JSON format for ease of use and repeatability. Graph Visualization: Leverages graphviz for visual representation, aiding in understanding and debugging. Validation and Auto-correction: Assists in identifying and fixing errors within filter graphs. Input and Output Options Support: Provide a more comprehensive interface for input and output options, including support for additional codecs and formats. Partial Evaluation: Enhance the flexibility of filter graphs by enabling partial evaluation, allowing for modular construction and reuse. Media File Analysis: Built-in support for analyzing media files using FFmpeg's ffprobe utility, providing detailed metadata extraction with both dictionary and dataclass interfaces. Michael #3: pyleak Detect leaked asyncio tasks, threads, and event loop blocking with stack trace in Python. Inspired by goleak. Use as context managers or function dectorators When using no_task_leaks, you get detailed stack trace information showing exactly where leaked tasks are executing and where they were created. Even has great examples and a pytest plugin. Brian #4: Optimizing Test Execution: Running live_server Tests Last with pytest Tim Kamanin “When working with Django applications, it's common to have a mix of fast unit tests and slower end-to-end (E2E) tests that use pytest's live_server fixture and browser automation tools like Playwright or Selenium. ” Tim is running E2E tests last for Faster feedback from quick tests To not tie up resources early in the test suite. He did this with custom “e2e” marker Implementing a pytest_collection_modifyitems hook function to look for tests using the live_server fixture, and for them automatically add the e2e marker to those tests move those tests to the end The reason for the marker is to be able to Just run e2e tests with -m e2e Avoid running them sometimes with -m "not e2e" Cool small writeup. The technique works for any system that has some tests that are slower or resource bound based on a particular fixture or set of fixtures.

I went over a variety of types of projects and how much they help you stand out among your competition.Not only that, but I went over the pros and cons of each, misconceptions of what is common but ineffective advice given around these projects, and how to be effective at making the more marketable options even more impressive.If you're wondering what types of projects to build for your portfolio to stand out, this one's for you.Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson Discover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify---------------------------------------------------

Michael #1: platformdirs A small Python module for determining appropriate platform-specific dirs, e.g. a "user data dir". Why the community moved on from appdirs to platformdirs At AppDirs: Note: This project has been officially deprecated. You may want to check out pypi.org/project/platformdirs/ which is a more active fork of appdirs. Thanks to everyone who has used appdirs. Shout out to ActiveState for the time they gave their employees to work on this over the years. Better than AppDirs: Works today, works tomorrow – new Python releases sometimes change low-level APIs (win32com, pathlib, Apple sandbox rules). platformdirs tracks those changes so your code keeps running. First-class typing – no more types-appdirs stubs; editors autocomplete paths as Path objects. Richer directory set – if you need a user's Downloads folder or a per-session runtime dir, there's a helper for it. Cleaner internals – rewritten to use pathlib, caching, and extensive test coverage; all platforms are exercised in CI. Community stewardship – the project lives in the PyPA orbit and gets security/compatibility patches quickly. Brian #2: poethepoet - “Poe the Poet is a batteries included task runner that works well with poetry or with uv.” from Bob Belderbos Tasks are easy to define and are defined in pyproject.toml Michael #3: Python Pandas Ditches NumPy for Speedier PyArrow Pandas 3.0 will significantly boost performance by replacing NumPy with PyArrow as its default engine, enabling faster loading and reading of columnar data. Recently talked with Reuven Lerner about this on Talk Python too. In the next version, v3.0, PyArrow will be a required dependency, with pyarrow.string being the default type inferred for string data. PyArrow is 10 times faster. PyArrow offers columnar storage, which eliminates all that computational back and forth that comes with NumPy. PyArrow paves the way for running Pandas, by default, on Copy on Write mode, which improves memory and performance usage.

Software Engineering Radio - The Podcast for Professional Software Developers
In this episode, SE Radio host Sriram Panyam explores HTMX with its creator, Carson Gross, who is also creator of Hyperscript, the mind behind the Grug Brained Developer, a professor of software engineering at Montana State University, and co-author of Hypermedia Systems. HTMX is a modern JavaScript library that allows developers to access AJAX, WebSockets, CSS Transitions, and Server-Sent Events directly in HTML using attributes. It represents a return to hypermedia-driven application architecture while supporting modern user experiences. The episode starts with a look at the current complexity in web development and how HTMX offers an alternative approach. Carson explains the core philosophy of "HTML as the interface" and how hypermedia principles influenced HTMX's design. From there, they dive into HTMX's technical concepts, including its attribute system, server-side integration, event handling, and state management approach. Carson shares some real-world implementation strategies, including migration paths from JavaScript frameworks, architectural patterns, and performance considerations -- as well as a few scenarios in which HTMX might not be the best fit. Finally, they look at the growing HTMX ecosystem, community contributions, and future development roadmap. Throughout the episode, Carson provides concrete examples and case studies of HTMX in production environments. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

If you want to leverage the power of LLMs in your Python apps, you would be wise to consider an agentic framework. Agentic empowers the LLMs to use tools and take further action based on what it has learned at that point. And frameworks provide all the necessary building blocks to weave these into your apps with features like long-term memory and durable resumability. I'm excited to have Sydney Runkle back on the podcast to dive into building Python apps with LangChain and LangGraph.

Brian #1: Making PyPI's test suite 81% faster Alexis Challande The PyPI backend is a project called Warehouse It's tested with pytest, and it's a large project, thousands of tests. Steps for speedup Parallelizing test execution with pytest-xdist 67% time reduction --numprocesses=auto allows for using all cores DB isolation - cool example of how to config postgress to give each test worker it's on db They used pytest-sugar to help with visualization, as xdist defaults to quite terse output Use Python 3.12's sys.monitoring to speed up coverage instrumentation 53% time reduction Nice example of using COVERAGE_CORE=sysmon Optimize test discovery Always use testpaths Sped up collection time. 66% reduction (collection was 10% of time) Not a huge savings, but it's 1 line of config Eliminate unnecessary imports Use python -X importtime Examine dependencies not used in testing. Their example: ddtrace A tool they use in production, but it also has a couple pytest plugins included Those plugins caused ddtrace to get imported Using -p:no ddtrace turns off the plugin bits Notes from Brian: I often get questions about if pytest is useful for large projects. Short answer: Yes! Longer answer: But you'll probably want to speed it up I need to extend this article with a general purpose “speeding up pytest” post or series. -p:no can also be used to turn off any plugin, even builtin ones. Examples include nice to have developer focused pytest plugins that may not be necessary in CI CI reporting plugins that aren't needed by devs running tests locally Michael #2: People aren't talking enough about how most of OpenAI's tech stack runs on Python Original article: Building, launching, and scaling ChatGPT Images Tech stack: The technology choices behind the product are surprisingly simple; dare I say, pragmatic! Python: most of the product's code is written in this language. FastAPI: the Python framework used for building APIs quickly, using standard Python type hints. As the name suggests, FastAPI's strength is that it takes less effort to create functional, production-ready APIs to be consumed by other services. C: for parts of the code that need to be highly optimized, the team uses the lower-level C programming language Temporal: used for asynchronous workflows and operations inside OpenAI. Temporal is a neat workflow solution that makes multi-step workflows reliable even when individual steps crash, without much effort by developers. It's particularly useful for longer-running workflows like image generation at scale Michael #3: PyCon Talks on YouTube Some talks that jumped out to me: Keynote by Cory Doctorow 503 days working full-time on FOSS: lessons learned Going From Notebooks to Scalable Systems And my Talk Python conversation around it.

A guide for astronauts (now, programmers using Git) about what to do when things go wrong. Flight Rules are the hard-earned body of knowledge recorded in manuals that list, step-by-step, what to do if X occurs, and why. Essentially, they are extremely detailed, scenario-specific standard operating procedures. [...] NASA has been capturing our missteps, disasters and solutions since the early 1960s, when Mercury-era ground teams first started gathering "lessons learned" into a compendium that now lists thousands of problematic situations, from engine failure to busted hatch handles to computer glitches, and their solutions.
