From YOLO to Pyproject.toml: The Saga of a Surviving Python Dev
summary
A chronological recounting of a Python developer’s modernization journey from 2015 to 2024, showing concrete tech changes: starting with setup.py and untyped scripts, then adopting type hints (2017), switching dependency management to Poetry (2019), moving to async to scale (2020), using Pattern Matching (2022), and benefiting from GIL improvements in CPython (2024). The talk uses this nearly-true story to illustrate practical upgrades and best practices that made the app more robust, scalable, and maintainable.
