I really enjoyed chatting with Tobias Macey recently for an episode of his AI Engineering Podcast. We talked about how get the most out of current AI agents, creating agent rules, constraining the blast radius, local models, and how @jetbrains is thinking about all these factors while working on its own AI agent, Junie.

We also touched upon the recent @django Django Developers Survey 2025 results that just came out.

There's a short (~7 mins) documentary up now on PyCharm's origins. It just turned 15 this year, even though it feels in some ways like it's been around forever.

I work here and I still learned a few things about PyCharm I didn't know before.

This is the annual survey done by @ThePSF and @jetbrains. @mkennedy wrote up a great summary (linked) of the highlights.
