A paper about Python 2 to Python 3 transitioning
by Russel Winder June 20, 2018

June 20, 2018

Hi, I got a link to this paper on another email list. The person there thought it might enable Python 2 to have a new resurgence and lead to the death of Python 3. I am not entirely sure he was joking. Personally I am not sure the paper is sound in that they seem to be making assumptions and thence deductions that the sample doesn't support. Has anyone else seen this? Anyone any thoughts about it? https://people.cs.clemson.edu/~malloy/publications/papers/esem2017/paper.pdf -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk

2X Permanent Python folk needed in London - £60k to £80k
by Stevie Buckley June 19, 2018

June 19, 2018

Hey folks Exactly two weeks ago today I emailed this group in the hopes of finding a couple of decent python freelancers to help out on a project at unmade.com. The response was fantastic and we've now hired two wonderful people (and are potentially hiring a third) so thank you for all your help. Due to Unmade's recent growth, they need to hire two *permanent* senior python engineers ASAP. I appreciate the freelance market is a lot more active than the full-time market but I'm hoping there may be one or two people on this list that are interested in having a chat. The full job ad is here: https://unmade.workable.com/jobs/578131 tl;dr: £60k - £80k, based in Somerset House, fascinating engineering challenges, super friendly team of approx 30 people, and a company that's making huge progress towards improving sustainability within fashion & manufacturing. Fully remote working isn't an option currently I'm afraid but there is *some* flexibility. Give me a shout if you're interested in finding out more. Thanks again, Stevie *Note to Recruitment Agencies:* No.

Hi there, For any fan of documentation, in our next Python sprint, we'll be honoured to have Eric Holscher sprinting with us.

2X Freelance Python folk needed in London - £550 per day
by Stevie Buckley June 5, 2018

June 5, 2018

Hey folks The team here at Unmade.com are looking to hire two python freelancers ASAP. We're using Python3, Django and Django rest framework within a dockerised environment. Lightweight agile process, trello tickets, and more Kanban than sprint. We're a well funded tech startup with approximately 30 full-time staff, about half of which are engineers, based in Somerset House. I'm pretty sure we're the only startup in London with three enormous industrial knitting machines on-site that we use for R&D which is a nice alternative to the usual ping-pong table startup trope. There's a variety of work that we need extra help with so if you're interested, have any questions, or know someone who might be interested, then give me a shout. Cheers Stevie *PS: We're growing at a healthy rate so if you're a python engineer looking for permanent work, then you can see the spec for that here: https://unmade.workable.com/jobs/578131 <https://unmade.workable.com/jobs/578131>*
