Elevate your code quality in Python with modern, ultra-fast tooling

AI coding assistants have changed how we build software. We can now generate features, refactors, and entire services in minutes — but speed without strong engineering practices quickly becomes technical debt. In this talk, I'll show how modern Python teams can build fast and reliable development workflows using tools like Astral's Ruff, Ty, and uv. We'll explore how traditional slow and noisy quality pipelines are being replaced by a new generation of tooling that provides near-instant feedback while improving code quality and developer experience. Topics include: Why AI-generated code makes automated quality gates more important than ever Using Ruff for formatting, linting, and fast feedback loops Using Ty for modern static typing and safer large-scale development Structuring formatter → linter → type-checker workflows Pre-commit hooks and CI pipelines developers actually enjoy using Reducing friction between local development and CI/CD The session is practical, opinionated, and based on real-world engineering experience building production systems with AI-assisted workflows. Whether you are a backend engineer, tech lead, or AI-native developer, this talk will give you a modern blueprint for building Python systems that move fast without sacrificing quality.
