RULES FOR RADICALS: CHANGING THE CULTURE OF PYTHON AT FACEBOOK
Today, services built on Python 3.5 using asyncio are widely used at Facebook. But as recently as May of 2014 it was actually impossible to use Python 3 at Facebook. Come learn how we cut the Gordian Knot of dependencies and social aversion to the point where new services are now being written in Python 3 and existing codebases have plans to move to Python 3.5. All without official support or sanction.
\"Rules for Radicals\" is a book for community organizers by the late Saul Alinsky on how to unite people to effect positive change in their communities.

Been in tech since 2006, and was a Perl guru for most of that time until I accepted a job with Facebook in 2011. With the new job came time to learn something new, and I have been writing Python ever since. When asyncio came out I jumped ship to Python 3 and have been working to get the rest of Facebook to shift as well.
