Shouldn't it? Yes, just like the ability to unit test, but that doesn't stop schools from skipping over them either.

The amount of boomer bait on Facebook is staggering. The amount of Boomers falling for obviously AI-generated shite even moreso.

Learn how to test (which is also what the article recommends).

Write unit tests. Write property-based tests. I don't care which ones, but automate the SHIT out of your tests.

Also curse at your school for not teaching you this from day one.

Alas, I don't know any articles or books on how to learn, because school didn't teach me either. I learned the theory from Uncle Bob, among some others, but had to learn the actual work from work...

DROL: Dicht Rechts, Open Links.

I think I just prefer Links Los, which implies that the other way tightens.

Dutch, BTW.

Protip: pip install pyupgrade And then find . -name '*.py' -not -path '*.tox*' -print0 | xargs -0 pyupgrade --py310-plus in your repo to update what can be updated.

BTW, pyupgrade's creator, asottile (that's his name) also has an informative channel: Anthony Writes Code where he explains Python features, or goes into interesting bugs he ran into, etc. The good stuff.

So I remember the plan to improve Python's speed from 3.9 to 3.13... Has there been an updated plan since? I presume the JIT will likely be faster in 3.14 (it';s already at parity - pretty impressive for a first release), but is there anything else planned?

VSCodium doesn't have the Python plugin, does it? It also misses the config sync when you're logged in (IIRC). Not the worst to miss if you start out, but I'll take it over having to track EVERYTHING in my code-workspace file.

As long as they pull a /r/VXJunkies:

Looking for a double-helix transistor to magnify your oblidisk? Want to discuss ballooning algorithms or Dormison's Paradox? Ever wondered about Swedish teutonic logic commands, the Hans-Rodenheim Law of Vectoral Momentum, Fankel readings, Mornington axions, the Armistan Codex, Envels, or the newest breakthroughs in ion insulate module technology?

Or this Technobabble, I'm OK with it.
