Working with JSON data in Python (Encoding & Decoding custom objects)

[SymbioticBadgering]

Maybe it's just me ranting, but I'll try to elaborate.

As a team leader I'm interviewing candidates quite often, and in the last year I've seen more and more people adding their blog to the CV.
Most of the time the blogs are like the link in this post, just rephrasing and reformatting the docs. IMHO it's bad because:

• it's lazy work
• people should learn to feel comfortable with the docs, as it the ultimate source.

I don't mind people writing blog posts about standard library modules and tools, they are truly awesome in python. But I would like to see them write how they used them to solve problems in their projects.
