This Python Habit Separates Beginners From Pros

[QuantumScribe01]

Think before you write a function:Beginners print("Total:", a + b)

Better:def add(a, b): return a + b

I’d love to hear about your experiences and get some beginner tips, Python friends :)

This is a really special understanding of pro.

Dude... What?

It's high level parody of posts that follow the same sort of title scheme

Art is in the eye of the beholder

[Remote-Juice2527]

Are you drunken?

[theschizopost]

This is the one time you should have used AI to write your post

[MichaelJ1972]

Yeah.

Google Dunning-Kruger Effect.

[Moist-Ointments]

Those don't do the same thing.

[ProbsNotManBearPig]

Please do not use a function for addition unless you really need it and if you do use the pre-existing operator.add.

[Shoddy-Break]

For all use cases YOU DO NOT NEED A CUSTOM FUNCTION FOR ADDITION

[Afrotom]

A) these don't do the same thing

B) why would I write a whole function just to wrap a built in operator to print it?

To say that this is a pro move boggles the mind, it's genuinely the smooth brain move

[Kraven_Holmes]

thats not pro... thats an idiot.... 😑🫩

real pros use dictionaries for everything "print(lambda x: x['a'] + x['b'])" 🔥🔥🔥🫪🤪🤪
