It's funny how much negativity was/is around things like NodeJs when so many back end engineers railed against frontend folks for only wanting to use JS and not adapting "proper" languages when they always go and try to go out of there way to do the same thing in reverse. Not that this isn't worthwhile or interesting

bro. you don't get it, do you. this sort of copy is just table stakes in hi(and bye) tech nowadays. you know, for these times when there is nothing under the table. not even legs*, I mean. *as in, "this thing has legs".
as usual, the hacker news subset consisting of the echo chamber / hive mind / tech bosses' slave crowd, can't digest / handle comments like mine above, while at the same are fine with the comment in a similar vein by paulcole, to whom I just replied above.
long live discrimination on hacker news! hip! hip! horror!

I don't think you need to draw your own conclusions: "This is not an officially supported Google product".

I'm struggling to understand this demo app. You type in some text and it echoes the exact same text back to you? I assume the project just hasn't fully fleshed out the readme

What about "Visual "? Since, you know, it's visual. This idea sounds promising. Who knows... you might even get one of the tech giants interested! Some of them have a lot of business customers that could use something like this.
Strong! I feel like we both see the future
You must be the Oracle of Delphi. Now that would be a nice product name for a visual IDE.

Don't you think that would be going too far? I worry what unholy creations people might come up with... A tabular data tool with a full development environment might just be too much power concentrated in a single application.
Nah people will just use it to run football pools and fantasy baseball leagues. It won't be a serious thing.
The correct approach would have been to have an event loop in every process handling 1 - however many clients for the server. Then async I/O functions can be done inside the app routes without potentially impacting the performance of every other client being processed. The software here seems to use Flask for the underlying server stuff (when running from Python.) But anyone whose tried to use flask for a web project before knows that its slow AF since it loads everything one after the other. When looking that up I think you can tweak the number of processes it uses but IMO: it's not the right approach.

When their jobs were moved to Munich there was a lot of discussion about how important they were, but something else stood out to me. One of the things they accomplished was taking over a year to make sure the monorepo can be upgraded to the latest version of python
As an outsider this definitely smells like an org creating work just to justify its budget. You have a single team of a handful of engineers doing the python upgrade work for tens of thousands of engineers. Doesn’t feel right out of the bat
I’m sure soon enough with the role moving they’ll find out if the team is needed at all
