What it is

Brandon Rhodes' PyOhio 2014 talk on applying the Clean Architecture in Python. He shows how this high-level design pattern fits Python's features and addresses maintainability problems in large applications.

Why Hacker News recommends it

HN points to it as a practical way to separate business logic from I/O, which reduces mocking and underlies the functional core, imperative shell idea.
