@Ranchonyx His wasn’t a programmer GF. She made an effort.

> Readability counts....
🤣🤣😂😂💀💀💀
I yet have to find the first Python programmer that writes readable code. *Especially* Python uses inappropriate abbreviations in names and whatnot, because it uses the worst of the worst for naming almost everything: snake_case.
If you want unreadable code with tons of shorthands and abbreviations, sure, go ahead and use snake case. Nobody likes to type the underscore unless they're mad and use programming keyboard layouts. -
@eeee She has a very outspoken opinion about that too, opposite from yours. 😄
Today she learned about list comprehensions, and immediately said: "Any programming language that doesn't have this is stupid".
She's going to fit right in if she joins any company as a junior. -
@bittersweet lol, nice.
I do miss comprehensions in Kotlin, the language I work most with. I liked them most in Haskell.
OTOH, Python lacks anything coming close to a sane type system. So I'm good with Kotlin. There's functional-like extensions in the Kotlin standard library so I hardly ever need for loops or comprehensions anyway. -
Looks like something from @bittersweet, though they are better author

@kiki I'm indeed a worse author than me 🤔

@bittersweet I didn’t realize it was you when reading this in the feed
So I told my wife one week ago: "Yeah, you should totally learn to code as well!"
Yesterday a package arrived, containing a really beautiful hardcover book bound in leather, with a gold foil image of a snake debossed into the cover, with the text "In the face of ambiguity -- Refuse the temptation to guess" on it.
Well, OK, that's weird.
My wife snatches it and says: "I had that custom made by a book binder". I flip through it. It contains the Python 3.9 language reference, and the PEP 8 styleguide.
While I usually dislike paper dev books because they become outdated over time, I'm perplexed by this one, because of how much effort and craftsmanship went in to it. I'm even a little jealous.
So, this morning I was putting dishes into the dishwasher, and she says: "Please let me do that". I ask: "Am I doing anything wrong?"
Wife responds: "Well, it's not necessarily wrong, I mean, it works, doesn't it? But your methods aren't very pythonic. Your conventions aren't elegant at all". I don't think I've heard anyone say the word "pythonic" to me in over a decade.
And just now my wife was looking over my shoulder as I was debugging some lower level Rust code filled with network buffers and hex literals, and she says: "Pffffff unbelievable, I thought you were a senior developer. That code is really bad, there are way too many abbreviated things. Readability counts! I bet if you used Python, your code would actually work!"
I think I might have released something really evil upon the world.
