Come and work with me at made.com?
by Harry Percival Feb. 28, 2019

Feb. 28, 2019

Hi All, I've been doing some quite interesting work for a new employer, Made.com, for about a year now, and we're hiring, so I hope you'll allow me a brief jobs email? What's interesting about the work: it's not a startup, it's not a django app, it's not a bank, it's not data science. It's Python being used to power a retail/logistics business. Quite a traditional "enterprise" software domain, a place where you'd usually see Java or C#, but Made have committed to use Python for all their supply chain software. As a result, we're dealing with quite a lot of business complexity, and we're dealing with it by applying some architecture patterns that are quite common in the Java/C# world, but (in my admittedly limited experience at least) still quite rare in the Python world. DDD / domain modelling, repository pattern, dependency inversion, ports and adapters, CQRS, event sourcing, you name it. The chief architect, Bob, is crazy smart and a lovely person to boot and is coaching everyone through all of this, and it's been a great education. I blogged about it a bit here: http://www.obeythetestinggoat.com/python-architecture-stuff-do-we-need-more… So that's the pitch really: proper enterprise architecture, in Python 3.7, with a team that's doing all the right things in terms of TDD, devops, continuous delivery, and so on. We have "10% time" aka Friday time once a fortnight where we can work on spontaneous self-started projects. The office is in old st. Remote and onsite are both possible (although it is either/or). you get 30% off the stuff... Happy to answer any questions! all the best HJWP PS oh yeah, I forgot to say, the IT team is big enough that if you don't *actually* want to work directly with me, it's quite likely that you'll be able to avoid it. this is for the people that already know me ;) PPS work suggested I mention that they have an exclusive agreement with an agency already, so they aren't accepting submissions via other agencies. -- -- Harry Percival +44 78877 02511

Anvil is looking for a Developer Evangelist in Cambridge
by Meredydd Luff Feb. 15, 2019

Feb. 15, 2019

Hi all, My friendly, fast-growing startup is looking for a developer with great communications skills to get people developing for the web in pure Python. Anvil is a platform for building full-stack web apps with nothing but Python (no JS required). If you didn't see us at PyCon UK or EuroPython this year, you can find a 6.5-minute demo: https://anvil.works#about <https://anvil.works/#about> We're looking for a developer evangelist: a developer to help show Anvil to the world by building, writing and talking. It's rewarding work - developers love being introduced to Anvil (our booth is always crowded <https://anvil.works/blog/img/how-many-t-shirts/crowd.jpg> at conferences!). Plus, there are all the advantages of an early-stage startup: as our second employee, you'll have a lot of autonomy and huge impact, and you'll shape how we do all our developer outreach. Our company culture is supportive (we're humans first, entrepreneurs second), and we welcome part-time or flexible working. You'd be working primarily from our stylish* office in Cambridge. (*Or so we've been told) You can find the full job ad, and more information about us, at https://anvil.works/jobs Meredydd -- Meredydd Luff Founder - https://anvil.works *Are we coming to a Python meetup near you?Check our schedule <https://anvil.works/blog/upcoming-events-19-01?utm_source=email-sig&utm_med…>, or nominate your own!*

forgotJS
by Dave C Feb. 7, 2019

Feb. 7, 2019

Hi, Many Python developers have the need for JavaScript at some point or other so I thought I'd share a link to my project. It's a series of code snippets intended as a quick read when returning to JavaScript, and many of the peculiarities of JS are demonstrated. Some fragments of Python are included for comparison. https://github.com/ReduceRightDave/forgotJS Have a spiffing day, Dave
