In this content packed episode I interview Simon Willison, Co-creator of the Python Django web framework and a survivor of the first dot com boom in the 90s. In this episode we hash out the history of the internet, open source, storming castles, scraping your history, blogging, building start-ups, and so much more. Let’s dive in.
