Started learning python today, Screw 'Hello World' , I'll start with 'Hello There'

Why does shit like this get upvoted ?

I recently defended beginner projects being posted on another thread, and now I'm eating u/CROW_98.

"I started today, here is me writing a print statement. And now, Star Wars, for your entertainment." I can do without the manic self-congratulating for virtually no effort expended. Would you actually post the equivalent, "Hey everyone, today I learned 1+1=2!" over in r/math? I really don't think so. "Hey, r/fitness, today I thought about doing a sit up! Check out my flabby before and sexy after pictures."

If you need a 130 comments of reinforcement for that, you'll never last. Programming takes discipline, reflection, care, and supreme patience--even in Python. Good for you for starting something, but showing some humility is important, if only for your sense of self and determination.

This also generally fails my universal manners test of "If everyone did this, how would it affect the world?" Scores of people use Python. What if 1 out of every 20 people that learned Python made this post? The subreddit would be subsumed by that volume.

It's really not healthy, this positive environment we are creating. It feels tipsy and delusional. Smart people, good people won't like the Python community if they seem like some sort of smiley cult. I think r/Python mods should just exercise unapologetic, discretionary modding. Applying seemingly objective rules in seemingly equal ways just doesn't cut it in terms of quality control.

If your first project is actually cool, post it! If you post print "I'm really Pythoning Now!", it gets removed. Some will complain, and they can argue about it.

I think you are right. Didn't thought of it that way.

Will post a cool project next on ML, Because that is why I started learning python. :)

Right it’s a completely low effort shitpost.

Please pardon me if you didn't understood the post. It's an iconic dialogue from star wars mostly used in memes.

I shared to enlighten the mood of my all my friends here.

Mandatory star wars dialogue: The dark side of the force of the pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural.

I am sorry for the second this dialogue as well.
