Good thing this article was paginated. I didn't really bother reading it once I saw that. Hypocritical journalism isn't worth reading.


The second page consists of only this:

> P.S. Of course I didn’t divorce my wife just because she likes multipage articles. I divorced her because she types two spaces after a period. (Not really.)

Don't know what's that about though..


For me, the strongest point is about which version of Python everyone uses at work. When you have many commercial users its really difficult to get everyone to move. Python3 is not currently a target for my code at work because just writing the features is a full-time job. The difficulties in porting would not currently be worth the effort and I would have an extremely hard time justifying the ports business value.


Oh please let companies use this to determine "real" talent!


This is really well explained in the docs: http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html?highlight=...


I liked the article because it made me think, again, about the debt we have at work. However, the few tacit solutions are not going to get me anywhere. This article needs a part 2 for debt that cannot be fixed with trivial solutions.


Third time for the challenge, nice going Waterloo!
