I love that talk. Raymond Hettinger is a gem. What I took from that is the implementation does preserve order but it isn't guaranteed yet and in theory it could change.

This talk is definitely worth a watch yes :)

This was the case for python 3.6, but starting from Python 3.7 ordering is guaranteed [1]:

  Changed in version 3.7: Dictionary order is guaranteed to be insertion order.

His talks are good, except that every time he asks a stupid rhetorical question of the audience I’m overwhelmed with the urge to wang¹ a tomato at him.
