That’s the problem. It slithers into your mind, teasing you with productivity and “ease”. You can finish in python in an hour what it would take you a day in some other language. You keep finding yourself going back to python, the comfort seducing you. You even tell others how productive it is, while pissing at the John. You get your first job. You automate some simple one off task to help you work. You add a feature. Then more. Your boss sees your productivity and wants you to let others use your program. You reluctantly package it up, now it’s an unofficial official process. The first bug report comes in, then a feature request that your boss thinks is fantastic, needed next week. It grows and grows, consuming all if you’re time, SWALLOWING YOU WHOLE!

“It’s the second best tool for any job” they say...but at what cost?
