Introducing RQ

Introducing RQ

Today, I’m open sourcing a project that I’ve been working for the last few months. It is a Python library to put work in the background, that you’d typically use in a web context. It is designed to be simple to set up and use, and be of help in almost any modern Python web stack.


vim-flake8: Flake8 for Vim

Survey: Python vs Ruby Test Ecosystems

Survey: Python vs Ruby Test Ecosystems

Suffice to say that I will blog about any interesting results or conclusions that I will draw from this survey.
