DESCRIPTION
Naomi Ceder interviews Fabrizio Romano, author of "Learning Python Programming" (now in its 4th edition). They discuss Fabrizio’s decade-long journey as a Python programmer and book author, exploring how his perspectives have evolved across multiple editions.

Key topics include the shift from GUI-focused content to command-line applications, the controversial introduction of typing in Python, the rise of AI in coding, and the importance of educating junior developers. Fabrizio emphasizes the balance between embracing new tools like AI while maintaining fundamental programming skills and the human element in software development.
