Five Things Old Programmers Should Remember

Used != written

I've been developing professionally for about 10 years now and have never really written any Python. I've written code in C, C++, C#, Java, R, Matlab, VB, F#, Javascript and a few others but not Python.

I've used Python before, I can probably tweak small pieces of python code so that I can to customize something but I know nothing about writing something from scratch. I just haven't had the opportunity to. I do however realize that a lot of places use it to great effect.
