What's the best thing about working for Octopus Energy?
On November 16, 2020, I started my first day of employment at Octopus Energy. Here's why I love working there. The Tech Stack The entire tech stack is built on things I know. Python, Django, AWS, and modern JavaScript frameworks. It's been implemented in a very solid way, managing to be both conservative in approach yet innovative in design. While my previous experience has proven useful, I've had the chance to learn new and exciting things. Examples of things I've learned: Hashistack on AWS React & Next.js Yet when I think about it, the tech stack isn't the best thing about working for Octopus. I can find the same tech stack in a thousand other organizations. The People It's always a delight to work with bright, positive-minded people who share your excitement for a job or cause. I like being around people who know things I do not, for no other reason than I can learn by osmosis. I enjoy being around them, and can't wait to meet them as the pandemic fades away. I also am amazed by the same treatment across different groups within the organization. No group or division is looked down on, be they software engineering, … -

Backend Engineer Interview Script
Dwight Schrute, Assistant *to* the Regional Manager. Dunder Mifflin Inc. Credit: NBC. Last month I’ve written a post with Django-specific interview questions. That post is about verifying a candidate’s depth of knowledge with Django. This post is about less specific questions I ask a candidate. Before proceeding to the Django specific ones. If I do proceed after all. In case the candidate does not have any Django-specific experience, what’s the point? These questions do not look for specific answers. Rather the aim is to open up a discussion. So the questions are more in the form of how or why rather than what. And no. How do you describe yourself? is not one of these questions. If you ever get that question, the only correct answer is that by Dwight Schrute as shown above. The questions in this article revolve around: improving web application response time designing authentication handling asynchronous work / task queues HTTP REST API design 1. Server response time Q: In the context a dynamic “data driven” web application, how would you decrease a page’s response time? Asking this should allow the candidate to come up with multiple answers. Among the common answers you should note the … -
How to test a Django ModelForm
What is a ModelForm in Django? ModelForm in Django is a convenient abstraction for creating HTML forms tied to Django models. Consider the following Django model: from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User class Invoice(models.Model): class State(models.TextChoices): PAID = "PAID" UNPAID = "UNPAID" CANCELLED = "CANCELLED" user = models.ForeignKey(to=User, on_delete=models.PROTECT) date = models.DateField() due_date = models.DateField() state = models.CharField(max_length=15, choices=State.choices, default=State.UNPAID) def __str__(self): return self.user.email To create a form for this model so that we can save and edit invoices in a view, we can subclass ModelForm as follows: from django import forms from .models import Invoice class InvoiceForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Invoice fields = ["user", "date", "due_date", "state"] Here we create an InvoiceForm tied to Invoice. This form will expose the following fields in the form: user date due_date state Once we create a ModelForm, we can use it in creation/editing Django views. For an example of the usage, check out the documentation. In this post we focus only on testing the form without interacting with the view layer. (For an example test of a form in the context of a view see Testing an inline formset in Django) How to test a Django ModelForm Testing the … -

How to Decouple Your App From its Operating System with Docker
We regularly update and improve our upgrades and sustainability service offerings at Caktus, and a recent upgrade for a client precipitated a solution that I felt might be worth sharing. At Caktus, the preferred approach for addressing upgrades and sustainability is to make incremental updates to a project over time, trying to keep both Django and the servers themselves on a long-term support version. These are select versions of Django and Ubuntu, for example, that generally have much longer support periods than other versions, i.e., they are a good fit for applications that you will need to continue maintaining well into the future. We continue to host large projects for our customers that we began as early as 2010, and we've applied this methodology throughout the past decade to keep systems updated and mitigate risk. One such project currently includes upwards of 40 servers (across several environments), all provisioned automatically with a tool built for that purpose. This client also requires the systems to be run on physical hardware that we also help manage, rather than in the cloud. Upgrading Python but Not the OS Recently we wanted to upgrade the version of Python used for this application, but weren't … -
Future of Jazzband
There were a number of requests to financially support Jazzband over the years and many questions arose around how to continue to grow Jazzband without risking the maintenance of the existing projects. So to support the continued development of Jazzband, an application to the Fiscal Sponsorship program of the Python Software Foundation was submitted earlier this year. And the good news is: Jazzband has been accepted! That will allow Jazzband for the first time to receive donations from its individual and corporate users to offset infrastructure cost and work on plans for the future. Here’s the donation link: https://jazzband.co/donate
