Session
This talk will review Python's latest type hint features, especially those in 3.13/3.14. These features can improve development efficiency, catch bugs earlier, and improve code maintainability—all while writing less code. This talk will show how to leverage these hints to catch bugs earlier, write more transparent code, and make your development environment work harder for you.
We'll also look at practical examples that show how modern type hints can improve your development workflow without making it too complex, as simple is better than complex :)
