Python Community Interview With Moshe Zadka

This week, I’m joined by Moshe Zadka, a senior site reliability engineer at SurveyMonkey. Moshe is a core developer for the Twisted framework and a Real Python author.

In this interview, we discuss a variety of topics, including the Twisted framework, Python for DevOps, writing Python books, and tai chi.

Ricky: Thanks for joining me, Moshe. I’d like to start with the same questions I do with all my interview guests: how did you get into programming, and when did you start using Python?

Moshe: The first programming project I remember working on was a project for class, converting numbers from decimal to binary in Basic. The teacher thought this was a little advanced for a seven-year-old, which was my main motivation for finishing it.
