En kodare

Hi, my name is Anders. I’m a prolific coder and the author of:

mutmut - the premier mutation testing tool for python
iommi, with Johan Lübcke - build webapps in Django faster, and better
instar - powerful advanced transformations of Clojure data structures
hammett - the fastest test runner for python, and pytest compatible!
…and many many more

Currently working at TriOptima, where we stabilize the global financial system.
