We over-trust LLMs, but not worry enough about the agentic loop around them when building agents
At my @pyconit talk yesterday, I shared why agents fail and how a solid agent harness can fix them, code & slides below ๐
Attending PyCon Italy this week? Come say hi ๐
We're sponsoring the event in Bologna on May 28โ30:
๐ฌ Find our team onsite to talk about the IDE, Python, or just to chat.
๐ง Take our quiz to test your Python knowledge โ look for screens around the venue.
๐จ Grab PyCharm stickers before they're gone.
โ Enjoy a coffee break (our treat!).
See you there!

At @pyconit, I'm approached by this dude saying:
"I had a bug today. I used the Logfire MCP to ask Claude what was wrong. It told me starlette had a new version and I had not pin my versions. Debug took *a prompt*.
I love Logfire"
I guess he loves @marcelotryle more than he knows.
Can't wait to be back in Bologna for @pyconit this week!
I'm talking about why agents fail and how to fix them, with a live demo of our itinerary agent built using context-engineering patterns and @Haystack_AI!
See you all there ๐
On Friday May 29th, @Marcelotryle Trylesinski, maintainer of Starlette & Uvicorn will be speaking about what he learned maintaining the MCP Python SDK at @pyconit at the 15:45pm slot (local time).
Join and leave the room with a clear design framework for your server.

Pycon Italy starts soon and I'll be there!
On Saturday, I'll give a talk on Reinforcement Learning Environments ๐:
little worlds where language models can act, get rewards, and learn.
Curious about model training beyond SFT? Join this seesion.
See you in Bologna...

ALT Let LLMs wander - An introduction to Reinforcement Learning Environments
No, you cannot 'eval' your way into fairness. That's @summerscope talk at PyCon Italia this Saturday, May 30 at 15:35 - 16:20 (local Italy time).
At @pyconit? Say hello.
On the train heading to @pyconit ๐
Over the years this trip has become a small ritual for me: a few quiet hours to slow down, revisit slides, think a bit, and decompress before the usual conference whirlwind ๐
Curious if other people have similar conference rituals ๐

๐ป Joining #PyConIT26 remotely?
This year, online access is available with a โฌ20 remote ticket.
It helps support the Python Italia Association and the volunteer work behind the conference ๐
