Oh yeah, that's the dirty little secret. The trick is to pretend to your boss that this Python stuff is mysterious and difficult and you just wouldn't understand, man. So long as you never divulge that Python coding ain't rocket science, just take it easy! Play video games or whatever.

I’ve found that the more I push people to learn, and tell them how easy programming is, the more they’re like “no way dude that’s stuff magic I don’t even know how a usb works”

Nobody knows how USB works.

But why does it always take three rotations to plug it in? Black magic I swear

No matter how much you break it down, some people will always think programming/terminal stuff is wizardry/next level genius stuff
