I have to say @pudo not only created an amazing tool, but also wrote very maintainable code. But part of the joy of working on Aleph is finding his funny comments. Here’s the thread to collect them, I’ll start:

My personal favourite is in `servicelayer`, [where the Worker base class is defined](https://github.com/alephdata/servicelayer/blob/main/servicelayer/worker.py#L29).

```auto
class Worker(ABC):
    """Workers of all microservices, unite!"""

```

Not a comment, but a string of code that gives me intense nostalgia:

- `task.job.dataset.name`
- 

```auto
stage.job.dataset.name

```
