A decade ago I wrote firmware for a printer company. One of the cases we needed to handle was to check if the print head would go back to the home position if I block it with my hand. Being the new guy and wanting to follow instructions I did literally just that. Later on I find out that the QA guy who wrote that test case was just messing with me. The other devs used a pen.

I work on the Starship Enterprise, but the pandemic is forcing me to work from home.

The whole "rockstar dev" branding has always made me cringe, but my opinion is software should be made by rock bands. Sometimes you have to play bass and not get laid.

Is there a tl;dr version in simple English?

Hi everyone!

I've decided that I didn't write this book to run a business. I'm tired of managing distribution channels and looking at sales stats. I want this book to be open and available for everyone.

I've released Explore Flask into the public domain and I've spent the last week converting it to Sphinx so I could make it available at http://exploreflask.com.

The project is going to be maintained in the GitHub repository at https://github.com/rpicard/explore-flask. I look forward to working with the book as a living document into the future.

Thank you to everyone who purchased the 1.0 release of the book. The sales numbers weren't huge, but they allowed me to compensate my awesome editor, Will Kahn-Greene for all of his hard work.

Another thanks to everyone who purchased the pre-release. That money kept me afloat before I landed the great job I'm currently enjoying!

Feel free to get involved on GitHub. Pull requests are welcome!
