Discover how LLMs can reshape the future of software engineering and drive innovation in the field.

[EN] Lightning talks by Disconnect3d
1. "18th Windows Conference", or rather, how you could deface one of conference website
2. Interesting Postgres replication bug from "Collector" task from PlaidCTF 2023
3. A bit about faster Python in CPython 3.11
4. How environment variables work, and why hiding them with os.environ['API_KEY'] = '******' doesn't make much sense

Other Lightning Talks!
a lightning talk is a short (usually 5min) talk, that's basically an open mic session – you can just come up to the stage during the event and present something for five minutes (ideally something related to Python).
If you'd like to do a lightning talk – just talk to the organisers during the event, (or on discord) – we will be also asking about it from stage during the event.
We already have a few very interesting lightning talks confirmed so be sure to check that part of the event :)

Followup discussion in a nearby pub.
After we lave the premises at around 21:00 we will move to a different location (announced during the event) to continue the discussion there.
Everyone is welcome to join the discussion :)
We will also have pizza & drinks. Our meeting details can also be found on our website, where you can sign up to give a talk at the next meeting:
