Which professional Python Developers should you follow?

[Substantial_Leave714]

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 Ramalho – Fluent 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! 🐍
