00:00 We should talk more about Mojdeh today.
00:06 We are now five organizers.
00:09 My close friends call me Moj and my full name is Mojdeh.
00:13 I am really happy to be part
00:14 of PyPodcats team this year.
00:17 So I was fortunate enough to get a
00:19 scholarship and this scholarship I think still exists.
00:22 It's called Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.
00:25 I knew about Erasmus as the Erasmus parties,
00:28 so there were a lot of parties.
00:30 Currently I'm working as a data
00:32 scientist project manager in Saint-Gobain.
00:36 It's not really clear what does
00:37 Python have to do with glass?
00:40 I'm really looking.
00:41 Through my window right now.
00:43 I don't see any Python code.
00:45 No one knows everything.
00:47 You have all the language models.
00:49 You don't need to know everything anymore.
00:50 Yeah, exactly.
00:51 It is important that even if you hear it from
00:54 LLM or read it from LLM, you question it.
00:56 Is there any episode that you particularly
00:59 like from last year from the PyPodcats?
01:02 I mean the episode that stays a lot
01:04 in my mind is the one with Vicky.
01:07 I also like the one that Real Python
01:11 Joanna.
01:11 For me, I didn't know her before the
01:14 podcast and I was like, whoa, really?
01:17 I get to know a new person. That was. Yeah, that was.
01:19 Really nice.
01:21 This session to introduce Mojdeh and tell you about last year
01:25 a little bit, but very a little bit and also a
01:27 little bit more about the outlook for next year.
