Python and Freedom and Bias - Laís Carvalho
Python and Freedom and Bias - Laís Carvalho - PyCon Italia 2024
Elevator Pitch:
Guido van Rossum stated that “Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need”.
Do you wonder what the implications of such freedom are?
In this talk, we will look at the Zen of Python and draw meaning from it, looking at the some blind spots such freedom can create.
Description:
Guido van Rossum, the creator of our beloved programming language, states that “Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need”. But have you ever wondered what the implications of such freedom are?
In this talk, we will have a look at the Python “built-in guidelines" on how to write pythonic code, also known as The Zen of Python, written by Tim Peters. I will use concepts present on the book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An eternal Golden Braid (written by Douglas Hofstadter) to explain meaning and relate it to Freedom (both in life and coding) and the human nature of biased perspective.
The talk is structured as follows:
1) Intro to the Zen of Python
2) The Search for Meaning, an Intro to Gödel, Escher, Bach
3) Freedom and our responsibility to choose
4) The blind spot experiment
5) Summary and Conclusion
