thanks! done.

@dang If you wouldn't mind helping a guy out, I need to remove this link from my post but I cannot edit the post anymore. I don't believe I was supposed to post the link on HN like this and I need to prevent others from clicking it please...

TO ANYONE ELSE: Please don't click that link anymore!

Totally agree with you on that account, I don't fault OP for asking this at all! Just wanted to put my 2¢ in here too. I hope OP gets plenty of luck and assistance with their search!

It's gonna be rough for a bit, but it's like with the market. If you think it's bad right now, just zoom out a bit. Even with things slumping a bit, we're still in a pretty good job market in our industry.

Just to give you my own experience right now, I literally just accepted a new job yesterday after job hunting for 3-ish weeks. I had multiple job interviews, even more job interview requests.

I don't say this to brag, so I apologize if it comes off that way. I just wanted to give you what could be a cancelling-out anecdata point to your own experience. I wouldn't let it get you down too much. Keep hunting and keep applying, I doubt the recession will get to a point where NOBODY is hiring :)

If you need another job board resource, try out "Hired.com". Here's a referral link from me for it (full disclosure I benefit from you using this!):

[link redacted]

I found it to be an extremely effective tool for finding interviews, or I wouldn't recommend it.

I wish you all the luck possible on your hunt; Sometimes it's just that -- luck. Just keep perservering and don't be too proud to ask for help from anyone and everyone!

Paripi koumei!

Except the part where you don't have people throwing _very_ large quantities of money at you based on these estimates, such that when/if you're wrong it could potentially spell disaster for an entire company costing shareholder money and peoples' livelihoods/jobs.

I'm not trying to claim that each individual claim of Musk's has this potential behind it, but equating it to day-to-day situations of underestimating the difficulty of a small task at your day-job oversimplifies the matter way too much and just makes excuses for someone who should TRULY know better.

As someone who actually has a disabity I would much prefer if people just called me a cripple, honestly.

Or you know, just call me by my name? That works too I guess.

'Gris' is also another game about mourning and loss, and is an absolute audiovisual experience on its own.

I couldn't agree more. This person needs a corporate budget and total freedom behind them so they can turn this into something LEGITIMATELY revolutionary for computing.

I assume a joke here haha -- no way are any of these companies pay another to hold them ACTUALLY responsible for their outage %. They would MUCH rather just lie.

Because my paid Bitwarden account works for every single device I own, for every app I use, for every website I visit, and for every browser that supports plugins. I can host it myself if I need to. I can have a family account to let my wife login and have her own separate passwords on the same sites as me. I can tag and sort and regenerate my passwords seamlessly. I don't have to come up with my own passwords constantly -- just click a few buttons to generate one within the current site's requirements, and hit "save".

The comparison to Fira Code is hilarious, basically no deviation except 'r'. Just go use Fira Code it's at least free

Seems odd to me that they would rate Monopoly as 1.3 complexity. This feels like "well it's an old game and so everyone probably knows it so it's not heavy". That feels wrong. Trying to explain Monopoly to someone who has never played could potentially be a very long discussion explaining how houses/hotels work, paying rent, etc.

Ah yes you're correct I didn't consider that meaning of the word! Thanks for the clarification. I'll leave my comment as-is though to avoid confusion.

Disclaimer: Career Python Programmer here.

First off, this thing is just a (click/flame)bait post. Bulleted list with zero explanations. That said, no language is perfect and I can agree with some of it. Addressing points I disagree with the most:

- Startup time: Given that this is a self-professed C(++/#) programmer, _of course_ Python will be slower than a compiled language. This is just a compiled language fan not liking a "not compiled" language, and has nothing to do with Python itself.

- Import system: Having historically used/dabbled with about a dozen+ languages, I have yet to find an import system I like, including the C family of languages.

- Toxic runtime environment: Ignoring the strange use of the word "toxic", without ANY detail whatsoever on what they mean by this, this is pretty useless criticism.

- Error handling / Exceptions: Not sure what he's comparing to. 90% of languages do bad error handling; even the newer ones like Rust/Go/Elm that try to do this well have their own faults and most people ignore them. Also, given that it's a C-family programmer stating this... Python does exceptions basically the same as the C-family, so yeah I guess he hates his favorite languages too?

- kwargs: Without any context, this is a meaningless complaint. Care to elaborate? No? Moving on then.

- List Comprehension syntax: This one is baffling to me. I guess someone who is used to C#'s Linq might find this a bit harder to grasp, but as someone who has used both professionally it's really not that bad, and this syntax is one of the things most people love about Python.

- Globals: Yes, we hate them too. _That's why nobody in their right mind uses them_

- Variable scope: IMO python variable scoping isn't that bad -- maybe a few warts, but I've never had significant problem with it.

- Significant whitespace: I mean....how? Yes it has whitespace-based blocks, but...it's not actually MORE whitespace than a {}-based language... What does "significant" mean here...?

- Standard library: You mean one of the best things about Python? That I don't need 60 billion dependencies on my project to be able to the most basic shit? Now you're just being ridiculous. Also, coming from a C# dev? C'mon man.

- Dependency management: Needs more context. requirements.txt isn't the best choice, but Poetry makes things much more standardized, and very easy to manage -- no different than many other dependency managers.

- Environment variables: ....What? What about them? This isn't a Python thing. Do you dislike how it handles them (as a hashmap)? Do you dislike the environment variables used by the Python runtime? ELABORATE.

- Jupyter Notebooks: Well given that this is not only 100% external to Python, but also completely a voluntary and (AFAIK) not "industry standard for all Python devs" tool, it's like calling C a shitty language because of Arduino.

TLDR: Congrats you googled all the things someone could possibly hate about a language and posted them in a bulleted list without context and called it a "rant"

Oh okay, so you never once intended to listen to anyone. Might as well publish these posts to /dev/null

I'm very excited about this! I’m looking forward to combining this with ARCHITECTURE.md[0] files to make some kick-ass documentation for our company’s devs for our repo(s).

In case you haven't heard of it before, that term comes from this blog post, quite a good read!

Thanks for the rec! How's the experience compared to the big names in terms of efficiency/UX/etc in your opinion?

Everything here is comparing Apple Maps and Google Maps, which is fair as the front-runners.

For those of us on Android though, does anyone have a good replacement app suggestion for Google Maps? Waze/OpenStreetMaps/etc? I've never tried them and would prefer not to trial them by fire, since I usually use them when I need to get somewhere for an appt or something :)

There's a lot of "whataboutism" happening in this thread.

How about our reaction to something like this is not "do more", but instead encouraging and be happy they are finally doing _anything_? Being negative will just make it seem like they shouldn't be doing anything.

If people are weaving in-and-out of traffic that means they're at least going faster than the majority of people on the road. Assuming everyone's going a reasonable speed, that means this person is an anomaly that's likely going a bit over the speed limit (if not significantly over). If I'm in the left lane going 70 in a 70, and you pass me on the right going 80, I can tell you which one of us is "more at-fault", and it's not apparently who you think it is.

Given that our company's interview process hasn't changed significantly since when I interviewed, I know for a fact that I could.

I could be incorrect in my assumption here so please let me know:

I assume as a user of DDG that they aren't collecting data on me. However back when Google was following their motto and young, they WERE still collecting data, weren't they?

If that's true (IF) then that would make this an unfair comparison. If DDG eventually erodes their morals and stops caring about privacy then I could just stop using them and they would have no historic data on me.

That aside though, what is your alternative? Yes they may in the future collect data but they certainly don't right now, so why not use them now while they don't rather than giving in and just using Google and accepting the surveillance?

Yeah I kept waiting for the article to get to the point, and then it ended.

He's leaving it up for interpretation

True, but the Python docs aren't also trying to tell you a life story at the same time.

obviously any counterpoint to this will also be anecdotes, but to add another: I have heard from extended family and friends unrelated to the tech industry that they have growing discontent with Amazon, and have said they order much less stuff off there. For my wife, it has become a running joke on how poor her service has been with Amazon; It's more surprising when it _works_ for her nowadays. Our current record is 2.5 months for a "next day delivery", and it was the wrong item.

I did mean Day 13, thank you -- I updated my post accordingly. Sorry about the confusion!
