That sounds like what happened at Boeing.

If the service is free, you are the product :-)

Note that Python already offers MappingProxy that wraps a dictionary to hide mutating methods.

People hardly ever use this tool. That suggests that there isn't much of a need for a frozendict.

All good suggestions. However, the last one should have also mentioned functools.cache and functools.lru_cache.

Do you want to take advantage of having multiple cores?

* Processes do this right out of the box. * Threads only do this on Python's new GIL builds. * Async, not so much.

History of women in the Python world: In 2006, the first two women were voted in as PSF fellows, Laura Creighton and Anna Martelli Ravenscroft. In 2008, there were two women on the PSF board, Gloria Willadsen and Allison Randal. The woman mentored by Guido was Emily Morehouse-Valcarcel. She is now on the steering committee but was not featured in the film. Less prominent in the documentary was Carol Willing who was on the initial steering committee. Also featured were Mariatta Wijaya and Lisa Roach-Carrier who were mentored by another developer.

> Mariatta Wijaya .. who [was] mentored by another developer

But in the documentary Guido says he mentored Mariatta?

Cryptocurrency did well, anyone who built things assuming crypto-related tech would do well lost their shirt.

Crypto is pretty much just about buying btc or now eth

But the projects built on it are all questionable and only make money for the builders who slowly rug them

worked well for Microstrategy (MSTR). Look at the 5 year or all-time chart for MSTR - https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MSTR/

Not sure how they realize all those gains tho, or what happens to the stock price when they try to exit in a substantial manner.

And what projects do they have besides buying BTC like the parent comment mentioned? What tech have they built?

And yeah, BTC went up huge amounts, but certainly they were a large part of the buying pressure to get it there. But like you asked, how do they realize anything? Unless they get US government to start buying and shift their bags to the US tax payer, how do they do anything with their BTC? Besides using it as collateral to borrow even more money to inflate a even higher bubble?

Decent framing of the issue, here.

Python's key-functions nicely encapsulate the whole process.

One place where Visual development tools almost always win is in problem domains that are intrinsically visual (think CAD, form designers, etc)

A notable exception is MS Access. It was a huge productivity win. It did not work well with version control but otherwise, it let developers rapidly develop and maintain moderate sized solutions to common business problems. It was also extensible with plain text code when needed.
