When I was in college I discovered the flask mega tutorial and fell in love with programming. Switched from an economics degree to software engineering and now work in the industry.

Thank you for the work you put in.

Also discovered flask in college but was a year away from finishing a marketing degree.

I'm now a SWE with just a marketing degree!

I am a SWE without any degrees. :D I dropped out to... study.

Yeah, our education system sucks that much.

Economist here, started to learn to code as an elaborate way to procrastinate on my master's thesis after I've quit playing videogames.

I came way late to the game, so went more the video side, so I have the same feelings about Pretty Printed, love his stuff.

But just now checking out the Mega Flask Tutorial, wow looks pretty awesome.

Absolutely love seeing like a dozen people piling on Mr Grinberg to show gratitude for his work, and indeed the even little things he does to help uplift others in the field. It’s a good reminder that a small helpful contribution, or bit of teaching given at the right time, can be so valuable!

Thank you for the Flask Tutorial, it got me started in web development and down the line into systems development.

Whoa! You're here! Well, I think a lot of us owes you a debt of gratitude. Thank you for all you've done for the Python and Flask community.

I also want to chime in and say how you changed my life. I did the same Flask megatutorial and that led me to leaving helpdesk and becoming a support engineer. Years later, and I'm now in big tech. Thanks Miguel!

I also want to say thank you for the Flask Mega Tutorial.

When I started my first job as a Data Scientist, it helped me deploy my first model to production. Since then, I’ve focused much more on engineering.

You’ve truly started an amazing journey for me.

Thank you. :)

I also used your tutorial to get started with web development and helped me get my first job about 11 years ago. Thanks a lot!

I learnt a lot from your numerous Flask blog posts over the years. Your blog is often better than the official Flask docs. Kudos to you, Miguel!
