This episode is a replay of a 2021 interview I did with Michael Foord.
We lost Michael in January, and I'd like to revisit this interview as a tribute.

Michael Foord was a pivotal figure in the Python community and the creator of the mock library that's now unittest.mock.
But he did so much more as well.
His contributions continue to resonate within the developer community.
This interview is just a small peek at his influence.

In this episode

Introduction to Michael Foord
The Mock Library Origins
Mocking and Testing Philosophy
Career Path and Consulting
Understanding Mocking
The Power of Patch
Testing Strategies and Design
Mocking External Dependencies
Teaching Testing and Mocking

python.org has put up an "In memoriam" page for Michael Foord, and many people have shared stories and memories.
