Poetry is one of the most famous dependency management tools for Python, and I frequently use it in place of the basic requirements.txt to simplify version management in my libraries. Despite its widespread adoption, Poetry is not fully compliant with Python’s PEPs and this sometimes leads to challenges during the development process. One such challenge I recently encountered was integrating Poetry’s “dev dependencies” with Tox.

I was recently having a look at my GitHub repositories page. I sometimes tidy up my projects as I would do with my living room, trying to understand what a guest would think of me based on what I keep around. It’s interesting to realize how far I’ve gotten with respect to some of my old projects. Still, one of them caught my attention: I hadn’t noticed before, but some users starred it and even forked it over the time.

Today I was experimenting with a small project using Docker and Flask. I just created two identical services and exposed them on two different ports: nothing fancy. However, to my surprise, only one of the two seemed to be working.

My blog is a static website hosted on Netlify. Without delving into too much details, Netlify pulls content from my GitHub repository, builds it, and deploys it on a server. Netlify also deals with SSL for me, which is great. However, as it commonly happens with abstractions, this simplicity ends up hiding the complexities and interesting details of the process. That’s why I decided to get deeper into the topic and see by myself what’s happening. In this post I’ll talk about SSL certificates and show how to verify them step-by-step.

Sphinx is a documentation generator that can help building great docs for our projects in a very short time. In this tutorial I will show how to use it to build docs starting from pre-existing Python docstrings.

I recently began using a Sublime Text 3 package that automatically generates inline YARD documentation for my Ruby code (Yardgen). The only problem with this package is that the key bindings it provides are overriding other Sublime Text shortcuts that I want to keep.
