Chaos Engineering, Django Q2 e Steganografia at PyCon IT #76

"We talk with Serena Sensini, Juliana Nicacio, and Juna Salviati — three speakers from PyCon Italia 2026 — about chaos engineering applied to quantum circuits, the new background task framework in Django 6.0, and the ancient art of steganography. Three very different talks with one common thread: the most important things happen where you can't see them.

Author of 5 technical books and a popularizer through her blog TheRedCode.it. *Juliana Nicacio* — Python/Django Backend Developer and individual member of the Django Software Foundation. She has a unique background: transitioning from geospatial tracking of sea turtles to building robust, well-tested APIs. *Juna Salviati* — Developer and researcher by curiosity, she explores unconventional computing by blending graph theory, microcontrollers, and retrocomputing. She loves turning equations into code and code into stories. *Talks in a Nutshell* **Serena — "Quantum Chaos Monkey"**: Bringing chaos engineering into the world of qubits. Using Qiskit and QuTiP, she injects noise, faults, and decoherence into quantum circuits to understand which algorithms stand firm and which collapse — exactly like Netflix did with microservices. **Juliana — "Background Tasks in Django: Q2 and Django 6.0"**: Django 6.0 introduces a native background task framework with a standardized API. Juliana explores how this changes the game: write your logic once, plug in any runner later, without being "married" to Celery or Django Q2. **Juna — "What is Essential is Invisible to the Eye"**: An introduction to steganography with Python — the art of hiding messages "in plain sight" within images or other data, along with attack techniques to uncover them."
