#218: Why Python developers are learning Rust

Rust is everywhere - in your tools and in your stack - and has been ranked as the most admired programming language for over a decade. Join us for a quick chat as we unpack why more Python developers are turning their attention to Rust, and why now might be the right time for you to do the same. If you’ve been seeing Rust pop up at work, on LinkedIn, or in your favourite Python libraries, this episode will help you understand what’s going on, and whether learning Rust could give you a real edge as a Python developer. To find out more about how we help Python developers with Rust, check out the following: Rust exercise platform: http://rustplatform.com/via/pybites [http://rustplatform.com/via/pybites] Rust cohort: http://scriptertorust.com [http://scriptertorust.com] Article Julian mentioned: https://pybit.es/articles/coding-can-be-super-lonely/ [https://pybit.es/articles/coding-can-be-super-lonely/] ___ 💡🧑‍💻 Want to become a more focused, motivated, and effective Python developer?

#217: Building a Production RAG Pipeline is Easier Than You Think - with Tim Gallati

Four years after its original MVP, we revisit Quiet Links, exploring how it evolved into a production-ready AI-powered research tool. Bob is joined by Tim Gallati and Juanjo to unpack how they integrated a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline into an existing Python application, without rewriting everything from scratch.  This episode is a reminder that impactful AI projects don’t require massive teams or cutting-edge complexity - just solid design, curiosity, and a willingness to learn!

#216: Resolving our own git mess

This week we did what every developer swears they won’t do - we broke our own Git workflow. Join us as we chat about what went wrong, what we learned, and where we’re heading next. This conversation is a reminder that even experienced developers get rusty without practice. If you can relate, or just simply enjoy Julian's git puns, leave a comment!

#215: Arthur Pastel on creating actionable optimisations with CodSpeed

In this episode, Bob sits down with Arthur, a Python engineer based in France and the creator of CodSpeed, to dig into a problem many teams don’t notice until it’s too late: performance regressions. Arthur shares the story behind building CodSpeed, starting with real-world pain points from robotics and machine-learning pipelines where small slowdowns quietly piled up and broke systems in production.  We discuss how CodSpeed fits into everyday developer workflows and why treating performance checks like tests or coverage changes how teams ship code. Arthur also shares how open source shaped the product’s mission, the surprising environmental impact of avoiding tiny regressions at scale, and why AI-driven coding makes performance guardrails more important than ever.

episode #214: Building useful AI - from classroom to real business impact artwork

#214: Building useful AI - from classroom to real business impact

In this episode, Julian is joined by Asif, a recent computer science graduate and Advanced Python teaching assistant at Northern Arizona University, to talk about building AI that actually delivers real-world value. Asif shares how an early curiosity for automation grew into a passion for machine learning, AI agents, and end-to-end systems that solve real business problems. We explore the gap between training models and deploying useful solutions, including how Asif builds privacy-aware AI agents for things like chatbots, summaries, and business insights that non-technical users can actually understand and use. The conversation goes deep into what it really takes to move from classroom learning to production-ready AI: failing fast, grinding through technical barriers, thinking about deployment and data privacy early, and focusing on projects that recruiters and businesses can clearly see the value in.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
