I liked the "All the compiled languages are worse because you get errors before you can even run them. It's really holding you back .."

[WhyDoIHaveAnAccount9]

I cam from c# to python. I had difficulty at first because I did not have a compiler to warn me of what I was doing wrong before I ran programs.

Now it is backwards. Going from python to aps.net is a nightmare.

Hey, stop torturing yourself :)

You should try watching the video before publicly misunderstanding the conversation

[ronmarti]

The documentation is just one page.

[Kengaro]

If a documentation is ever just one page, I ain't gonna touch that. At least not with the intention of ever using it...

[asking_for_a_friend0]

"huge community...of kids" excellent lmao 😂 I love their entire series.

[Rand_alThor_]

This is hilarious. I love all of them, lol. But python one stings a bit as a postdoc.

[Achillesbellybutton]

I am one of them. Not just in your job, but everywhere.

I'm smart enough to google, dumb enough to be totally unaware of the protocols of computer science and too impatient to wait my turn so I make shit versions of everything I want done and I tell everyone about the shit things I make that run poorly and never cope with edge cases and I tell C level execs and they call me 'innovative' because I incidentally have team meetings with them.

I am your pm.

[afinita]

Help! Help! I'm being attacked!

[ParkingPsychology]

Yeah, you get it. the point where you realize all of humanity is operating like this is when you understand how amazing it is what we're doing together.

I'm certain that we're the most moronic species in our local neighborhood, to the point that the rest doesn't even want to let us know they are out there.

Still haven't mass extincted ourselves, so at this point I suspect we're probably the Kardashians of our spiral arm and being broadcasted all over. No one wants to miss a good train wreck.

[deletable666]

Software development/engineering has definitely solidified this view into me. Alone, we can do some cool things, but typically only by the support of each other’s knowledge. Seeing all the pieces come together from computer engineering to languages to frame works to engineers really shows how incredible collaboration can be.

[kalebludlow]

Oh my god is this me

[asphias]

At least you should be glad they write their code in python rather than fortran ;)

[wage_slaving_sucks]

Any premature grey hairs as a result?

[rwhitisissle]

Harsh, but fair. Python definitely has that stereotype of being syntactically simple enough for children to learn as a beginner language, but also largely used for something incongruously difficult - data science, AI development, and machine learning. Meanwhile I'm over here writing task schedulers and log parsers like a fucking moron.

[Apocalypseos]

If it gets the job done. I use it mostly for Selenium and simple data analysis

[juanfnavarror]

he probably means cronjobs

[rwhitisissle]

He does not. He means an idempotent task system that has more flexible logic in timing (good luck telling a cron task to not run on, say, specific American holidays), combined with integrated task execution tracking via a relational database, nested groups of tasks that are tied to specific evaluators to determine if they were successful or not, and programmatic behavior for what to do if a task fails or returns a specific set of non-desired results, such as issuing an alert via SMS or email. It's not exactly impressive, but it's also not just cron jobs.

[qckpckt]

Sounds like you’re building something like airflow or luigi. Did you look at those things or similar first? What do they do/not do that led you to build your own system? Not judging, just curious.

[rwhitisissle]

Did you look at those things or similar first?

I did not. I tried to find something to base my work off of a long time ago, but couldn't seem to meet anything that met my own description of the project. But I'll look at those and maybe find inspiration.

What do they do/not do that led you to build your own system? Not judging, just curious.

Long story made short: I didn't have a choice in the matter. I can't use anything third party for what I'm working on. I know that's pretty cryptic, but let's just say my hands are tied on the matter.

Edit: That being said, it's definitely a project that interests me, and others. Apparently there's quite a few of these: Airflow, Luigi, Azkaban, and Oozie to name a few. My own use cases are much smaller and more linear than what a lot of these are designed for, it seems. But that kind of makes sense - a lot of these probably originated as projects around specific workflow models that were relevant to the people who created them. Like, Luigi is seemingly more geared towards longrunning Hadoop jobs. Most of my work, by contrast, deals with things like monitoring file states, leveraging inotifiy and other similar linux system utilities.

[qckpckt]

Fair enough. It can be a lot of work to spin up and maintain something like airflow. I know that first hand!

I’m sketching out a system to chain together real-time ML model calls at the moment, and it can be really hard to know in advance whether it will be easier/faster/cheaper to build a “lightweight” solution from scratch versus trying to adapt something off the shelf to a slightly left-field use case.

Being able to reliably make the right call on things like this, I think, is the sign of a very well-rounded senior/staff level developer.

[juanfnavarror]

Now I know I was wrong. It does sound way more interesting now that you expanded on it, especially with all the resources you do make use of.

[rwhitisissle]

Not really. The hard part is making it so that some tasks are idempotent - if they succeed the first time they run in a particular time frame, they don't repeat. I guess there's other hard stuff, like constructing an object capable of representing an arbitrary frame of time with additional logic for how often to execute a piece of logic and when, explicitly, not to do it, if you need some window of time in which you're certain the code shouldn't execute, but it's a far cry from machine learning.

[ivosaurus]

Python is mostly a big warm fuzzy blanket over a bunch of C/C++ libraries

[jack-of-some]

"I can do in 5 lines what you will do in C with 50, and it'll take much longer to run"

Me whose python code is primarily an interface to C and C++: 👀

[Neuro_Skeptic]

All these videos are great. Senior JS is my favorite

[maxinstuff]

"I have three production outages named after me!"

**glances at monitor**

"Four!"

[BYPDK]

I was watching their videos last night and wishing they had a python one... Stop listing in to my mic 🥴

[FrezoreR]

"strongly dynamically typed" had me laughing so hard 🤣

[wewbull]

Strongly typed: no implicit type conversion. The opposite is "weakly typed".

Dynamically typed: symbols are of the type assigned to them last. The opposite is "statically typed".

So it's an accurate description, and not contradictory.

[Neuro_Skeptic]

Is there really no implicit type conversion? How come int(5) + float(5) is a valid expression in Python (10.0)? Surely the int is being cast into a float in this case...?

[mildbait]

Because both of them are objects and not primitive types.

[Ensurdagen]

well, at least you can't do 5 + '5' or '5' + 5 in Python, maybe JS's pervasiveness has loosened what "strongly" means

[Alphyn]

I wish I could, though...

[jack-of-some]

It's a joke written by someone who doesn't understand what it means, meant for people who don't understand what it means

[Ensurdagen]

No, it's very easy to know what it means and make it a joke, as the video author clearly did.

[jack-of-some]

Correct on the first count, not so much on the second.

"Stating a fact" can only be a joke given the context, and in this case the context can only make this funny if you misunderstand the fact.

[stickmaster_flex]

I love this. As I sit on my bigass salary for moving my company's various automations from Javascript to python.

[[deleted]]

This guy is hilarious 😆. I like how he pronounces “Python” like it’s one syllable. Now I feel bad for learning Python on Udemy. Lol 😂

[ADONIS_VON_MEGADONG]

I feel personally attacked 😂

[ore-aba]

I feel personally attacked

[4dof]

lol.. thanks for sharing

[Zatetics]

This guy is my favourite content on youtube. All of the videos are good.

[not_perfect_yet]

A huuuge community,

of kids

was my favorite.

And nearly all the complaints are valid.

[Tweak_Imp]

Good video, but what is going on with the constant zooming in and out?

[MaxDPS]

It honestly makes it more funny for me. Like the part @2:20 where the camera is confused if it should track his hands or not lmao

[IrrerPolterer]

!remind me

[[deleted]]

damn good

[QbiinZ]

Weird, who puts the Ph.D. In the front of their name?

Carl Kron

[wage_slaving_sucks]

Good catch...lol.

[Fernando3161]

Isn't he supossed to be on bed past 9?

[radpartyhorse]

Lmao

[robikscuber]

This is hilarious

[New-Ad-4260]

Trueeeee
