Meet our Keynote Speakers – Simon Willison
summary
The keynote recounts over 20 years with Python, built a CMS that became Django (open sourced a year after leaving the newspaper), the interactive REPL habit that shaped development, and the creation of Datasette and SQLite-based tools for publishing data. It also details a year and a half immersed in large language models, building tools for running LLMs locally, experiments around journalism and data journalism, concrete tooling choices, surprising failures, and practical strategies for responsible use.
