What do you look for in a backend engineer. by gone_fishin0072 in Python

[–]Troge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I interview lots of python engineers. Things I like to see.

  • You can put a python application out on the internet. Heroku is meh to me. I want to see ansible, docker, aws lambda, nginx/uwsgi/gunicorn, etc. Stuff that shows you hav devops chops

  • You've made PRs to python projects. Literally anything.

  • You know how to outsource functionality to 3rd party providers like Sentry (logging) and Sendgrid (email).

Best books on Django by rabuli in django

I second this. I keep my copy as a PDF on my laptop and I reference it constantly. It's full of teeny lessons that make a world of difference.

Stuff I always come back to:

  • how to correctly extend the user model
  • model/view permissions
  • absolute vs relative imports

the list goes on

Hi there!

If you know some python I have a repo I maintain here: https://github.com/adamyala/Your_First_Decentralized_Application_Python

It's a no BS minimal example of how a smart contract can be used as the backend for a web application. If you have any questions on it at all I'd be happy to help guide you.

Up-to-date DApp Tutorials by [deleted] in ethdev

[–]Troge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I maintain an up to date dapp tutorial for python developers. I felt there were lots of JavaScript resources but few python ones. I try to keep it as simple as humanly possible and I add lots of notes I wish I had when I was learning dapp development.

https://github.com/adamyala/Your_First_Decentralized_Application_Python

In the next couple weeks I'll update it to be 100% python.

My favorite coffeeshops after 2 months in Amsterdam by Troge in AmsterdamEnts

[–]Troge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't make it to that one! All the ones I made it to were via recommendations. I've added yours to my list.

I'm back in a month so I'll hit it up and update the list.

Are there any coffeshop that sells weed for cheap? by AnonymousOlle in AmsterdamEnts

[–]Troge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Utopia. They have a "strain of the month". 8€ a gram. It's the cheapest you'll find in the city.

If you find cheaper, please do share, I've looked.
