Welcome to Software Development on Codidact!

Will you help us build our independent community of developers helping developers? We're small and trying to grow. We welcome questions about all aspects of software development, from design to code to QA and more. Got questions? Got answers? Got code you'd like someone to review? Please join us.

I've been using Python (both professionally and as a hobbyist) since at least late 2004.

Currently working on PAPER (the Python Application, Package and Environment wRangler, an alternative to Pip and Pipx) and soon to return to bbbb (the Bare-Bones Build Backend, a simple build backend taking some of Flit's minimalist philosophy but with the ability to support non-Python code and more complex package structures).

Upcoming planned projects include artdeco: a library for orchestrating build processes in Python, essentially allowing you to write a Makefile in Python code using decorators to mark the "build rules". I also have ideas for several more useful tools (probably mostly on the smaller side), and somewhere in there I plan to take a bit of time to learn Rust.
