Michael #1: Raw+DC: The ORM pattern of 2026?

  • ORMs/ODMs provide great support and abstractions for developers
  • They are not the native language of agentic AI
  • Raw queries are trained 100x+ more than standard ORMs
  • Using raw queries at the data access optimizes for AI coding
  • Returning some sort of object mapped to the data optimizes for type safety and devs

Brian #2: pytest-check releases

  • 3 merged pull requests
  • 8 closed issues
  • at one point got to 0 PR’s and 1 enhancement request
  • Now back to 2 issues and 1 PR, but activity means it’s still alive and being used. so cool
  • Check out changelog for all mods
  • A lot of changes around supporting mypy
    • I’ve decided to NOT have the examples be fully --strict as I find it reduces readability
      • See tox.ini for explanation
    • But src is --strict clean now, so user tests can be --strict clean.

Michael #3: Dataclass Wizard

  • Simple, elegant wizarding tools for Python’s dataclasses.
  • Features
    • Fast — code-generated loaders and dumpers
