Goals are another big company aberration. I think the idea is that you'll somehow foster innovation by telling your employees they have to think of extra work to do in addition to their job. Dumb all over, but type A personalities believe everyone is driven.

It's funny to see them pushing cloud-based tools as, "You can even work from home!", but still want you to be in the office M-F 9-5. Yeah, everyone I know would rather work 80 hour weeks than 40 hour weeks for no extra pay.[sic]

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?

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
