Job posting for a non-profit using #Python; remote work for continental US timezones, must have right to work in the US. You'll get to work with some great, welcoming people!

------

Cortico is a non-profit committed to fostering constructive conversations and surfacing underheard voices. We believe that intentionally designed and intentionally deployed technology can enable communities to achieve these aims in ways that are more inclusive and scalable.

Our platform brings people together in recorded small-group conversations. Through a powerful combination of AI and human listening, this platform enables organizations to make sense of the conversations they collect, and surfaces community voices into public dialogue and decision making.

We are looking for a backend-focused Software Engineer to join our small engineering team.

The primary responsibilities of this role include:

- Designing, building, and maintaining scalable backend services to enable our partners to hold conversations and to process, analyze, and store the resulting audio data and transcripts
- Working with our MIT collaborators to integrate AI/ML models into our production systems
- Building and enhancing APIs that connect our mobile and web applications
- Contributing to architecture decisions that shape our platform’s future
- Writing clean, well-tested, and documented code
- Participating in code reviews and helping maintain high code quality standards
- Collaborating cross-functionally with product, design, and research teams
- Mentoring junior engineers and sharing knowledge with the broader team

At Cortico, we look at a number of things when setting compensation—like your experience, skills, certifications, training, and what the role needs. Where you land on our range depends on your unique background and experience, as well as where you live. For this role, the estimated pay range is $105,000 – $125,000.

#FediHired

I posted this last week, asking for #Python users to fill out a silly little survey:

https://social.coop/@Yhg1s/114577319279302611

I got quite a few responses! Almost 300 at this point. I can use this! It'll be hilarious! I can still use more answers, though, because some of the answers are much more spread out than I expected, even after cleaning up and consolidating. I hope with a few more responses I get more obvious standouts answers.

Please fill out the survey if you haven't :)

https://kitfucoda.medium.com/telegram-chatbots-evolution-decoupling-parallel-python-s-shared-state-for-clarity-e76880ce9b1f

My recent refactoring journey began with a take-home assignment's hidden pitfall: a hard-coded queue in settings.py. This seemingly small detail quickly grew into a global state headache, making testing and modularity a real challenge.

To tackle this, I focused on explicitly managing inter-process communication. The solution involved leveraging multiprocessing.Manager to centralize shared synchronization primitives, allowing for much cleaner dependency injection across parallel processes.

This refactoring delivered significant benefits. It drastically improved testability by eliminating the need for global patching. It also brought consistency and enhanced modularity, laying a robust foundation for future scalability.

It's been a valuable lesson, directly applicable to my own operational chatbot. While not a performance optimization, the structural clarity gained is immensely rewarding. I'm looking forward to diving deeper into the testing aspects of this setup soon!

> ' split() without params returns a list of the words in the string ❤️ '.split()

['split()', 'without', 'params', 'returns', 'a', 'list', 'of', 'the', 'words', 'in', 'the', 'string', '❤️']

#python again makes so much sense.
Thank you for thinking hard before implementing anything.
Splitting a string means splitting up words, and that's Pythons default. So simple, and so clever. Also if it is a bit opinionated. Fine with me. I love it.

#awk is still alive `mix test | awk 'BEGIN { print_next = 0 } { if (print_next) { print; print_next = 0 } else if ($0 ~ /^ *[0-9]+\)/) { print; print_next = 1 } }'

`mix test` is for running elixir tests. I've got too many failures at the moment and wanted to see all of them, with the file / line number. cc @kevlin

This is not awk I could have easily written by hand.

(but admittedly, for stuff with conditionals etc, there is a lot more #python in the training sets).

"Have you ever started a Python process, realized that you made a mistake, immediately hit Ctrl+C to interrupt it and then waited a surprisingly long time to get the command line back?

This delay is caused by a bug in the compiled #Python extension.

:thread:"

A code block labeled "A Common Bug (in compiled extension modules)." The code shows an attempt to exit a calculation of a large array of random numbers, and then indicates that a Ctrl+C interrupt takes 3.5 seconds to return, rather than returning immediately as is probably the desired and expected behavior.
