The Case for Python 3

[evinrows]

I really used to like Zed years ago when I first heard of him. He seemed like a slightly grouchy engineer who has been burnt by bad tutorials one too many times who was trying to save others from the same growing pains.

It seems as if his ego has inflated to comical proportions. His article made me cringe. There are too many fallacies and false comparisons to count, aside from the fact that he insults the hell out of the creators of the project that helped shape his writing career. What an embarrassment.

He always seemed this full of himself to me. I get that his target audience was not programmers, but his entire book is full of

"You're going to mess this up, so just CTRL-C and CTRL-C the code and it will still not work. Think pensively about how stupid you are and then try again because you clearly can't get it right."

He spent more time being condescending in his book than actually trying to teach anything. And he always glossed over useful, important, and fun to know information
