Every tech conference have some presentations that look good, but go out as boring, and some hidden gems. Would you recommend some of the videos?

My favorite so far: Raymond Hettinger Modern Python Dictionaries A confluence of a dozen great ideas

  Any Raymond Hettinger talk is worthwhile.

  He shows a Sphinx/RTD output during the video as his slides. Is that published anywhere public?

  YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw4s1QTmPg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw4s1QTmPg slides for the 2016 talk: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3967849/sfmu2/_build/html/main.html https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3967849/sfmu2/_build/htm... The 2017 slides are better, but I can't find them they are mentioned in the beginning of the talk though.

I really enjoyed Solid Snakes: https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/146/ https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/146/ Lots of insight and tools for building reliable systems Grok the GIL: https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/320/ https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/320/ was also an excellent talk if you've heard of the GIL, but aren't exactly sure how it works, he shows you the CPython code and several examples of it working. Finally, Constructive Code Review: https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/663/ https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/663/ was a great talk about the human side of programming and time management.

  Solid Snakes has a excellent page with the referenced links: https://hynek.me/talks/reliability/ https://hynek.me/talks/reliability/ I liked the presentation, but, probably due to already knowing almost all, didn't find it great. Better to read the link above first.
