Google Backtracks: Why AI Can’t Replace Humans in Hiring
For several months now, AI has been disrupting every sector, and recruitment is no exception.

How Astral is reshaping Python development, one tool at a time
If you're a machine learning or GenAI practitioner; or a Python developer in general, your main concern is (and should be) the core features of whatever scripts you are writing (the backend of a web app, an ML training script, a prompt chaining logic…).
