You’re right now to compromise on this, but you can give yourself mandatory types in Python, using MyPy, if that’s your only issue with it.*
Because you don’t need elegant subprocess handling, intuitive reliable logging, and don’t mind needing a to autonate a linter to check for whitesoace bullshit.*
**Python is my favorite language, actually. Really.
Vi, make and C are elegant beautiful tools, and the joy they will bring into your life will wait steadfast and pure in spirit until you discover it.
There’s no such thing as self documenting code, unless every method and variable name has the word “because” in it.
Anyone can read what the code does. The comments are there to answer why it does what it does the way it does.
Why is invariably lost to time, if it’s not committed to a comment here and there.
Yep. And honestly most language specific versions of make still have glaring missing features. Which doesn’t matter, until when it really matters.
I want to embrace a make replacement, but if the pattern holds, they will be prying make out of my cold dead hands to make me presentable for my funeral.
My bank is welcome to implement features that prevent using Firefox. It’ll cost them when I move my deposits, but they’re welcome to do it.

I stick to strictly Markdown. because it’s easier (for me) to convert to eBook, PDF, or website - or all three.
Depending on the platform, I use different Markdown editors. At the moment I’m using Markor on Android and VSCodium on Windows and Linux.
First: Linux is the street racing scene of the PC world. You can customize everything, and it’s going to be faster and more responsive. Also if someone just wants to build a really cool custom experience, there’s very cool stuff possibld do on Windows, but that road eventually leads to Linux.
Second: Linux is the long haul huge truck engine of the Internet. Big data processing only runs on Linux*. I’ve met one Windows supercomputer and one Mac supercomputer. Both are long retired now.
*The interesting exception to this is payments processing, which has a lot of Windows and Mainframe still. But while that workload is big, it’s dwarfed by the Internet backbone and supercomputer jobs that run on Linux.
Something like 99.9% of the Internet now runs on Linux.**
**Please no one reply to me about your .Net shop. I’ve worked at them too, but they’re a substantial minority now, and they still mostly deploy to Azure which is mostly running Linux.
Third: Free stuff. Most open source software is written for Linux, and only ported to Windows after it gets really popular. So on Linux, your options for good free software are much nicer.
Also me when I can’t take my dog to a new planet.
I’m a Rutherford who strives to live more like a Tendi.
Nah. Dune mostly starts out on a desert planet, and the kid ends up leading a resistance to make a full strike against the current Imperial power structure. And in later episodes of Dune, the boy’s visions of the future threaten to send him down a path toward evil, but he chooses to risk everything to save a dear friend…
So it’s completely different. /s
I hire developers with mismatched experience all the time - with a couple of guiding principles:
Oh and, please do apply. If you make a good impression and aren’t the team member I need next, I might know someone who does. You want to always be networking.
And any manager who makes you feel bad for applying for a mismatched job is an asshole and trust me, that person’s peers (like me) are aware of it and it is limiting their career progress. I just don’t like them enough to even tell them so.
Much of season one is outright bad. The remaining seasons are really good.
Yeah. Can we make this an official tradition?
Yeah. They probably couldn’t get it past the censors in the Original Series.
And he does mention an ex-wife in the 09 movie.
Yeah, I skipped a few great lines in there because I couldn’t remember them.
“I swore I would never use one of these. Computer, activate the emergency medical hologram.”
“State the nature of the medical emergency.”
“A dozen Borg are about to pound through that bulkhead. I need you to buy us some time.”
“Starfleet medical records indicate that Borg implants cause substantial discomfort. Can I offer you an analgesic?”
Riker “I thought you said you were a pacifist?”
Worf “I did.”
“Borg…? Sounds Swedish.”
Lily has a good number of my favorite Trek quotes. Her delivery is perfect, and the script to First Contact is fantastic.
“… And the person doesn’t even know…” This dude is bad at this.
Y’all, if you work in my field and I buy you lunch, it’s because I’m trying to hire you.
But you won’t have to wonder. I’ll start the conversation with something subtle, like “I’m buying today because I’m trying to hire you.”
It…uh…works. Really well. Stay tuned for more insightful tips, I guess.
