Airflow, the workflow scheduler we use, recently hit version 1.6.1, and introduced a revamp of its scheduling engine. We like it because the code is easy to read, easy to fix, and the maintainer, Maxime Beauchemin, is very responsive.

Okay. So you haven’t seen a poem in the wild since your days in high school. So, since the 80s.
70s? 60s? Well, it’s been a long time, anyway. And you don’t remember much about it. Just that it was highfalughtin, hard to understand, and, in some cases, looked like little more than a jumble of random words spread artfu... | ['Writing', 'Learning', 'Poetry', 'Education', 'Art'] |
Don’t get me wrong. Python’s popularity is still backed by a rock-solid community of computer scientists, data scientists and AI specialists.
But if you’ve ever been at a dinner table with these people, you also know how much they rant about the weaknesses of Python. From being slow to requiring excessive testing, to ... | ['Towards Data Science', 'Programming', 'Programming Languages', 'Python', 'Data Science'] |
