S1 Episode 10 - Erik De Bonte

This is the 10th episode of the Sad Python Girls Club Podcast, and we're excited to have Erik De Bonte as our special guest! Erik is a Principal Software Engineer working on Pylance, the default language server for Python in Visual Studio Code 🐍. In this episode, he shares his learnings and work on typed Python and a bit about what it was like ramping up on Pylance while also writing a PEP for the first time 🤯

To celebrate the release of our 10th episode, we also made a bingo card that you can use to cross-off things that may happen in each of our episodes 😝. Check it out!
