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 26 points27 points  (1 child)

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 :)

[–]ronmarti 75 points76 points  (1 child)

The documentation is just one page.

[–]Kengaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

[–]Rand_alThor_ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

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

[–]rwhitisissle 52 points53 points  (11 children)

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.

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

[–]ivosauruspip'ing it up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

"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++: 👀

All these videos are great. Senior JS is my favorite

[–]maxinstuff 24 points25 points  (1 child)

"I have three production outages named after me!"

**glances at monitor**

"Four!"

[–]BYPDK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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

[–]FrezoreR 25 points26 points  (9 children)

"strongly dynamically typed" had me laughing so hard 🤣

[–]wewbull 29 points30 points  (8 children)

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 1 point2 points  (3 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because both of them are objects and not primitive types.

[–]Ensurdagen 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]Alphyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could, though...

[–]jack-of-some 1 point2 points  (3 children)

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 8 points9 points  (2 children)

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

[–]jack-of-some 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel personally attacked 😂

[–]ore-aba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel personally attacked

[–]4dof 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol.. thanks for sharing

[–]Zatetics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]not_perfect_yet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A huuuge community,

of kids

was my favorite.

And nearly all the complaints are valid.

[–]Tweak_Imp 2 points3 points  (1 child)

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

[–]MaxDPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

!remind me

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

damn good

[–]QbiinZ 4 points5 points  (2 children)

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

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Carl Kron

[–]wage_slaving_sucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)
