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!

My talk from @pyconfi was published today.

In the talk, I share my tips for becoming better at debugging: the mindset, some processes and great Python tooling.

Posted a small #PyConFinland report on my blog. In summary, I gave a talk, enjoyed the keynote, sprinted a bit, and appreciated Jyväskylä sights. https://quanttype.net/posts/2025-10-19-pycon-finland-2025.html

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.

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.
