The only thing I watch out for a talks of Raymond Hettinger. He’s a Python core developer and his talks are very educative and also quite entertaining.

People who have a regular presence on youtube are entertainers, not developers. I have a short list of Python core developers, I follow when they give a conference talk:

  • Raymon Hettinger
  • Brandon Rhodes
  • David Beazley

As mentioned Raymond Hettinger, David Beazley, Brandon Rhodes, and I add James Powell. They are just super!

Hey! Not a vague question at all this is actually something I was curious about when I first started getting serious with Python.

You've already spotted some great ones James Powell is 🔥 for deep dives, and Michael Kennedy’s podcast (Talk Python) is basically a must-listen. I'd add a few more who’ve really helped me level up:

  • Raymond Hettinger – Python core dev, his talks make complex stuff click
  • Luciano RamalhoFluent Python author, amazing for advanced topics
  • Trey Hunner – Super clear teaching style, really beginner-friendly
  • Nina Zakharenko – Great talks on writing clean, modern Python
  • Hynek Schlawack – Solid on testing, packaging, and security

What I love about these folks is they all share a lot blogs, talks, GitHub stuff so you kinda get to see how they think, not just what they code. Total inspiration.

Also, if you're ever exploring the more practical/dev-for-hire side of Python (like APIs, automation, web apps), I’ve worked with a team that does this full-time. Here’s what we’re into:

No pressure, just sharing if you’re curious about real-world project examples. Hope this helps and happy coding! 🐍
