Interesting approach. I first learned Flask, built a small project with it, then later took the time to get familiar with wsgi. I don't feel that I missed out.

Interesting approach. I first learned Flask, built a small project with it, then later took the time to get familiar with wsgi. I don't feel that I missed out. My first project didn't use any middleware, but was easy to understand and maintain. Later projects made use of them when appropriate.
How long have you been mentoring that dev and how does he/she feel about this bottom-up take to understanding WSGI development?
- lifeisstillgood 14y agoNot long. Taking it with a pinch of salt. He has built simple Flask apps anyway so thats good. I think there is easily a place for getting something running quickly with Flask. But going to a growing codebase with flask or any frameworks with understanding the underlying mechanisms and options is pretty silly. So I think get that out of the way early. FWIW I have actually written a literate testing tool so I can actually write notes and code examples - https://github.com/mikadosoftware/doctest2 https://github.com/mikadosoftware/doctest2 ... doclit It may be useful for this kind of thing.
