Topics

1. Innovating with Python to be better professionally and personally
Drake Loud

In this talk, I hope that you will walk away inspired on ways you might innovate in work or at home. 

I'll discuss a particular personal problem that I had, and how I solved it with a solution using serverless functions and a simple UI. We will dig into the architecture and code. Where I will briefly  show how the solution was solved in Python. 

Finally, we will end with ways to build your innovation muscles and why it matters for you personally and professionally.

2. The CPython JIT
Jeff Glass

Starting in Python 3.13, CPython includes the option to run with a Just-In-Time Compiler, which emits snippets of machine-code at runtime for added speed. The novel 'copy-and-patch' JIT CPython uses means that the Python runtime doesn't need to actually know anything about compiling this machine-code - it just 'fills in the blanks' of pre-compiled stencils.

This talk will introduce the core concepts of CPython's Tier 2 Interpreter, its copy and patch JIT, and current active areas of exploration. It will also include notes on my own explorations with Superinstructions - sequences of multiple bytecodes compiled together for additional time savings.
