First, the good news.

In my last post, I mentioned founding a startup.

Been quiet around here.

This post is a showcase of data wrangling techniques in Python, using glom.

Reliably tap into your creativity with the 4 Cs: Consume, critique, curate, create.

2020 was a year of reckonings.

Thought I'd take a Sunday afternoon to reflect on, oh I don't know, a decade.

What we can learn from 180+ case studies on successfully shipping Python software.

This post introduces glom, Python's missing operator for nested objects and data.

Last week I attended a Maintainerati event, an unconference/mini-summit for maintainers of popular software, run as a prelude to the GitHub Universe conference.

"What are plugins?"

The packaging gradient, and why PyPI isn't an app store.

Software development takes all kinds.

It's about time.

So while PyCon 2016 starts in less than 48 hours, some kind of anticipation compelled me to polish off the last of the talks from last year.

You know that old quote: The wider the net you cast, the wider the variety you catch.

When I first published 10 Myths of Enterprise Python on the PayPal Engineering blog, there were a lot of reactions.

In modern software development, a project isn't a project without a proper versioning scheme.

Every day, Python is the primary programming language for tens if not hundreds of thousands of professional engineers, analysts, and researchers, including yours truly.

Today I had the pleasure of talking on stage for ~2 minutes at the Real World Crypto 2016 conference in Stanford, CA.

Bad things happen when we don't repeat the obvious.

This entry is the first in a series of "cookbooklets" showcasing more advanced Boltons.

The PSF just created a new mailing list, "PSF-Community", then autosubscribed a bunch of people and solicited introductions.

I wake up with a jolt, spilling most of my breakfast cereal onto a thirsty couch.

Most blogs, like this one, are reverse-chronological, causing the first post to appear last in the archive.
