Speaker Profile: Adam Forsyth
Adam is a Software Engineer and Community Lead @ Braintree. At work Adam does a variety of things from planning events to API development in Ruby to relational database scaling. Outside of work, Adam is a Python enthusiast and an organizer of ChiPy and Chicago Pythonistas. Adam also likes to give talks about Python, Ruby, and software development practices. He’ll be presenting Multiple System Failure: A case study in debugging when it’s everyone’s fault at 1PM Saturday.
Recently, the Braintree Python library wasn’t working on Google App Engine. Braintree, GAE, requests, and urllib3 all had problems and I tracked down each one. I’ll walk you through debugging with only basic tools – editing the code to observe state and using git to find the responsible commit. This talk expects a basic understanding of web programming, git, and Python.
