Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

Insane companies who have "learning" quotas...
I took python training as resume fodder. Python is pretty much like any other 3GL. Memorize the syntax and start programming. The secret lies in knowing what's already in the libraries/modules/??? so you don't reinvent the wheel.

I'll be perfectly happy if I never use python on a job. I enjoyed learning Rexx more. Wonder what the hot language will be in 20 years?

@lunduke The thing about Scrooge McDuck levels of money is that you have way more money than you need, and you can walk away from any paying job and still have way more money than you need in investment revenue. If you can't, then you're just a greedy bastard who should be called, "Scrooge".

@amiloradovsky@functional.cafe While a lot of OOPLs do not handle object technology (OT) concepts well, you're statement is full of ignorance of OT concepts. You seem to want to impose conflict where none really exists. OO and functional can coexist, when both are used in areas where they are the best tool for the job. Both will produce derision when they are used incorrectly.

@ben hmmm...meat can thrive in a forested area...grain not so well. I've seen plenty of happy cattle in wooded pastures...never a happy combine.

The fix is on the production side.

Python tenet: 'explicit is always better than implicit' ... except when you're talking about things that save typing like g-strings, no block delimiters, terse collection specifiers, etc.

Knowing built-ins vs knowing libraries equals not much difference. #learningpython

Encapsulation enforced by the honor method. #eyeroll #learningpython

I see that python has good container mechanisms, but object handling is not anything exciting. #learningpython
