I gave a lightning talk at a bunch of conferences in 2025 about some of the exciting new things coming in Python 3.14, including template strings.

One thing we can use t-strings for is to prevent SQL injection. I illustrated this with xkcd 327 aka “Little Bobby Tables”.

I localised most of the slides for the PyCon I was at, including this comic. Here they are!

The return of PyCon Finland was a marvellous event.

I wrote a recap of the conference (+ a bit about Lokacon) to capture the experience.

There are many ways to provide memorable conference swag: I loved these LEGO logos for #PloneConf2025 and @pyconfi and they immediately got a home from my pegboard.

The cutest debugging assistants, helping @hamatti with his presentation

A laptop with Pikachu and Firefox stickers, alongside three cute toys: a rubber duck dressed in a suit and a hat, a rainbow unicorn duck, and a plush avocado figure.

Thank you @pyconfi for an absolutely wonderful day ❤️

What a way to start @pyconfi lightning talks: a history lesson into casserole in Finnish cuisine.

Didn't know I needed this until it happened!

This is why lightning talks are the best part of tech conferences.

I once found a bug that was THIS BIG.

Juhis is standing in front of a room speaking to an audience. Next to him, there's a slide with a photo of yellow rubber ducks and title Rubber duck debugging. He has both of his hands up as he's explaining.

#PyConFi welcome words

Opening presentation at PyCon Finland 2025. The main screen displays a welcome message, and there are attendees seated in an auditorium. A speaker is standing at the front with a microphone, additional branding for the event beside them.

Lots of cool stickers around at #PyConFi. Should have brought my #åcon stickers—those surely would have confused a lot of people here. 😀

A sticker with a drawing of an orange pie. The pie has a snake image on it, and a slice with 3.14 on it has been cut from the pie.

One of the best things that happens during a conference talk is when you see people's faces light up as they just learned something new.

#PyConFi

Thanks @pyconfi for giving me the stage to talk about debugging to the wonderful audience ❤️

If you want to see what I talked about, I have it in blog format here https://hamatti.org/posts/debugging-python/

#PyConFi

My debugging duck squad got a new member, a teeny tiny baby duck.

Thanks Tatu for the duck!

The hardest part of a conference talk is waking up in time to not miss it.

I managed!

So excited for today's @pyconfi and my debugging talk in a couple of hours.

#PyConFi

My support group is ready for my talk tomorrow morning at @pyconfi 🥰

#PyConFi #archipylago #python

An avocado plushie, a unicorn rubber duck and a huntsman rubber duck who look like they are ready to drop the hottest rap album of the year.

We arrived to Jyväskylä hungry and eager. Our hotel restaurant Alba provided for the hungry men! Maybe the best burger I've eaten in a long time.

#PyConFi #Jyväskylä #archipylago #TurkuDev

A delicious burger with a thick patty, nicely melted cheese and some greens poking from between. Rest of the plate is filled with crispy fries.

Northward bound on the train to Jyväskylä for 🇫🇮 PyCon Finland!

Stopped off at Tampere to visit some art museums and saw some other snake things.

View from train window: a lake reflecting evergreens and autumnal colours.

Sculpture of two entangled snakes looking at each other menacingly.

Sculpture of a snake crawling in and out of the eye sockets of a skull.

Our @archipylago delegate to @pyconfi is getting into the mood with Lost Cities in the train.

#PyConFi #archipylago #TurkuDev

Lost Cities board game in end state, being played on train table

Packing for @pyconfi and focusing on the most important things to bring: board games, dice tray, rubber ducks...

See you tomorrow!
