Hey, did you know you can easily test Python 3.14 with the JIT enabled in official macOS and Windows binaries by setting PYTHON_JIT=1 as an env var?
If you're not running in production, it might be fun to test it out? Would love to hear about your experience!

Docker was announced at PyCon in 2013 and by 2015 there was a huge community of production users, and vendors, that lead to the creation of the Open Container Initiative, which standardized the container image format, runtime, and distribution specifications. opencontainers.org
