Mia Bajić
I'm a software engineer with roots in developer experience and the data domain. I've built backend systems, SDKs, and beautiful web apps. I'm most energized when the thing I'm shipping makes someone else's work meaningfully easier and better.
Outside of work, I’m Vice-Chair of the EuroPython Society, the non-profit behind Europe’s largest Python conference, which also supports Python communities across Europe. Apart from that, I’ve spent years organizing and growing the Python community in Prague.
I also host Behind the Commit, a YouTube podcast featuring conversations with people shaping open source across Europe and beyond: https://www.youtube.com/@BehindtheCommit
Session
Python's technical roadmap is public, yet most engineers only find out about language changes when something breaks in CI. Python is one of the few languages at this scale governed entirely by its community, which means every decision gets made in the open, and that transparency is a real competitive advantage. This talk is about learning to use it and understanding why the community behind it is what makes that possible in the first place.
