Interview with the author of Flask Armin Rahner
We continue a series of interviews with PyCon Russia speakers about Python, their work and hobbies. We are ready to conduct mini-interviews with Python developer Andrei Svetlov and Scrapinghub programmer Alexander Sibiryakov .
Under the cut is a short interview with Armin Ronher ( Armin Ronacher ), the author of the Flask framework, the Pallets project, one of the founders of the Pocoo Team, the author of the famous Python Jinja2 templating system and several open source libraries. Armin currently lives in Austria and works as a Sentry partner and consultant for Fireteam.
- How did you got into programming on Python?
')
- I picked up a German book about programming for children a long time ago. I didn’t help with the PHP code there. I wouldn’t know what the world would like to do. Picked up Python again.
- What are you working on currently?
- Most of my time goes into Sentry these days, a bit of time into Flask and Lektor.
- What's your best and worst part of your job?
- Timezones :)
- what do you consider your life at this point?
- Hard to judge. It is the most significant my biggest achievement. In life I suppose
- how do you think python will develop in the next few years?
- It's hard to tell for me. It is not a problem. I think a few years ago Nowadays you need to juggle multiple langauges at any point in time. This is a Python version. It will be a little bit more.
- What's the biggest problem of the Python community?
- Too close minded. It is not a picture of the python community. It wouldn’t be embracing. Lately I think the community has a work out.
Reid Hoffman, the linkedIn: “If you’re not embarrassed, you launched too late.”
Mark Zuckerberg: “Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough. ”
- How often do you need to get the product code? How did you solve this problem? Did you compromise your apps?
- a lot of time thinking about. I generally like to have a good design. Then when it works, I really wanted it. I doubt you can understand your problem.
- Which tools do you use in your everyday work?
- Vim, iTerm / Terminal.app, SSH, Bash, git, OSX is my main environment. On the server there is Linux most of the time.
- Do you read any Python blogs? Would you recommend?
- I don't read any blogs intentionally. Whatever bubbles up on hackernews and reddit
- how to spend time when not programming?
- Spending time with family, reading and reading about psychology, history and politics.
You can ask your questions to Armin on July 3-4 at the conference PyCon Russia , which will be held near Moscow. Armin will give a talk on “How Python was Shaped by leaky Internals”. By the way, Armin has already spoken with us twice. At PyConRu-2013 I talked about Advanced Flask patterns , and in 2014 about Writing Secure APIs (follow the links for video reports).
Back in the program of this year: Raymond Hettinger (Python core developer since 2001, author and maintainer of many parts of the language, USA), Martin Gorner (Google, France), Nathaniel Manista (Google, USA), David MacIver (Hypothesis, UK), Jackie Kazil (Capital One, USA), Alexander Sibiryakov (Scrapinghub, Czech Republic), Andrey Svetlov (DataRobot, Ukraine), speakers from Positive Technologies, Rambler & Co, JetBrains, Ostrovok.ru, Yandex, HeadHunter - and that’s not all.
