#504 Developer Trends in 2025
What trends and technologies should you be paying attention to today? Are there hot new database servers you should check out? Or will that just be a flash in the pan? I love these forward looking episodes and this one is super fun. I've put together an amazing panel: Gina Häußge, Ines Montani, Richard Campbell, and Calvin Hendryx-Parker. We dive into the recent Stack Overflow Developer survey results as a sounding board for our thoughts on rising and falling trends in the Python and broader developer space.

The folks over at Astral have made some big-time impacts in the Python space with uv and ruff. They are back with another amazing project named ty. You may have known it as Red-Knot. But it's coming up on release time for the first version and with the release it comes with a new official name: ty. We have Charlie Marsh and Carl Meyer on the show to tell us all about this new project.
If you want to leverage the power of LLMs in your Python apps, you would be wise to consider an agentic framework. Agentic empowers the LLMs to use tools and take further action based on what it has learned at that point. And frameworks provide all the necessary building blocks to weave these into your apps with features like long-term memory and durable resumability. I'm excited to have Sydney Runkle back on the podcast to dive into building Python apps with LangChain and LangGraph.
What listeners think
Informative, addictive, and powerful!I have been following this podcast since awhile now and I have to say that Michael does a great job picking topics which listeners relate to and all the information is very much helpful for a person who is getting their feet wet in Python or an experienced developer. Each and every episode, I learn at least one thing that motivates me to change my day to day life. I am looking for more Python stuff and I would love Michael to continue with the same speed as he is going. Highly recommended for all Pythonistas.
Every time I learn something newEvery time I listen to a Michael Kennedy Podcast, I learn something new. It’s so educational just hearing the interviews. Genuinely going in depth about different subjects in the world of coding - from a Python perspective. Great guest! So much insight. 💙
Finance - risk guyHey, I'm a finance and risk guy that is newer to Python, was using excel vba macros but once I saw the power and possibilities of Python, have been hooked ever since. Love the podcast, I think I am a wannabe developer, maybe some day, haha. Take it easy.
