My old pals at Waypath are on the move: they need a solid Python developer to help them in their quest to map the uncharted.
My Python skills are limited to being able to spell it: good intentions have led me to pick it up a few times, and even with the pleasant surprises of how simple it was to get things done, I found myself more often using the dog’s breakfast that is perl.
But if you or someone you know has what it takes, jump on this: wicked smart guys and plenty of challenges^Wopportunities in what they’re doing.
