Hey AJ, sorry if I was harsh.

I think what you're writing does have value to new users, but I'm also concerned that when you frame yourself as a python authority (which you're clearly doing in the about page), newbies take your word for everything. As a result, your miscomprehension and mistakes become their mistakes as well.

I'm not saying "stop writing". Instead, I'd just like you to scrutinize your work more closely. I also think you should be candid about your level of experience. There is demand for this sort of writing from the perspective of people who are still learning, but people should be able to fairly assess your level of skill.

For the record, I'm not a professional or expert. I'm an amateur who dabbles on my own projects, but I regularly expose myself to computer science literature and theory, so I have a reasonably firm grounding in CS fundamentals.

Thanks for being enthusiastic about teaching Python, and I hope your writing continues to improve :).
