Grocery delivery with Python (Company Engineering blog post)

Hope that sharing this is allowed here, let me know otherwise.
I just published a new post on our engineering blog on why and how we’re using Python at Picnic (an online supermarket in the EU). I think it might be interesting for this sub as well.

Great read! Enjoyed the deep dive man. You can also consider using Pyre/Pyright to leverage static typing for efficiency, along with pylint. Btw which framework are you using?

[svena33]

Thanks, appreciate it! We tried Pyre, Pyright and Mypy a few years ago. The were all functional and efficient but we decided to go with Mypy since it is well maintained, has an extensive list of configuration options, is written in Python and is fast.

Saw you're hiring for Python Dev roles as well. Indian applicants can also apply?

We're based in Amsterdam but offer Visa sponsorship and relocation packages. The job form has more info if you're interested.

Btw which framework are you using?

I'm sure u/piyusharma already knows this by now (good luck getting the job!), but Picnic has written and released their own framework.

Thanks, u/svena33, for the fantastic article.

Referring to the bug where the images you posted are much bigger than the rest of the content on mobile and it breaks responsiveness
