“Functions either return something or they blow up”

@anze3db I'm still working on my reviews :D

@jangiacomelli Thanks ☺️

New social engineering SEO tactic:

- start learning Python as a teen
- get a MSc in maths
- transition to the world of programming
- get involved with the community
- start interacting with the core devs

In about 13 you get a backlink from the Python website.

Foolproof.

🎖️ New achievement unlocked.

The Python website, and in particular the Python 3.14.5 release notes, now cite me and include a link to my website.

It's funny the small ways in which you can contribute to the Python language and ecosystem!

Getting AI to create diagrams:

Yay or nay?

A student asked me:

“Is there an advantage of using str.startwith() instead of using string slicing like str[:3]?”

Yes, there is!

More than 1 advantage.

I can name 4.

I wrote them down and ChatGPT created this diagram based on my explanation 👇

Today during a class for my cohort a student asked if you can reset a generator.

Well, you can’t.

You can only go through a generator once and that’s it.

BUT

You can write your own generator-like iterators…

And you can make them resettable!

@anze3db Lightning talk next Thursday?

[Rodrigo 🐍🚀 @mathsppblog]

@lovelacecoding Ok, forget the conf. Come visit the country. I’ll help you figure out logistics & things to do/visit. Just send me a DM or something

[Rodrigo 🐍🚀 @mathsppblog]

@lovelacecoding Students also miss classes, don’t they? 😂

Some say it's the Venice of Portugal, but...

PyCon Portugal is a relatively new and small Python conference.

It's very relaxed, welcoming, fun and it has great food!
