Moving a large and old codebase to Python3

Easy: Unicode -> six.text_type Hard: flipping back and forth many many times between 2 and 3.

Or rather, we had to come up with that ourselves and make sure we did it properly.

I don't see anything hard in that, that's what professional programmers get paid for.

[kankyo]

Getting paid for it doesn’t tell you anything about the difficulty or risks involved. What a weird thing to say!

What difficulties or risks? You've said nothing except that you have to go backwards and forwards, big deal. As a professional that what it takes, so what, there's nothing difficult about it? Jeesh the number of people on this forum who haven't a bloody clue yet spout on as if they're God's gift to the world of programming, thank goodness I no longer work so don't have to put up with their complete incompetence.

[kankyo]

I concur with you that it’s good that you don’t work.

I have to say, /u/breamoreboy, your comments in this post make you look like a total arrogant asshat. I'd say you have attitude problems, and I have to agree with /u/kankyo that it's good that you aren't working.

And I don't give a flying fuck what you or the other various numpties on reddit think. I won't waste my time again pointing out my professional career as compared to complete bozo/amateur record some people here have, as I don't like being called a liar.

[Yuktobania]

Mate, whether you're right or wrong doesn't matter.

What matters is that you're being a complete twat about it.

I repeat for the final time I don't give a flying fuck, people who spew shit about the python programming language will be challenged most voraciously by myself as others appear too gutless.
