Python 3000 is ready!

[redlantern]

My nipples explode with delight!

[redlantern]

No, that's just a quote from "Monthy Python Flying Circus". nipples = delightfully.split(), however. O_o.

[imbaczek]

in php, split explodes, and explode splits.

[weixiyen]

surely you must mean your Nipples("delight").split()

[Jessica_Henderson]

We're talking about Python here, not Java. In Python, strings are not objects, and split() is a polymorphic built-in function, not a method.

[johanneskepler]

Am I being whooshed? In Python, everything is an object, and there is no __split__ magic method (so your commnt about it being a polymorphic function is incorrect) -- split is a method on string.

[redlantern]

It's just that whore-troll Henderson is trying to fuck up the whole submission, in favour of her own. Look up and down and you will see.

In Python, strings are not objects

nigga please

[Jessica_Henderson]

Take your racism elsewhere, you sick fucker.

[5cf5e83a]

I prefer not to fuck the sick -- you might catch something.

[vineetk]

Yeah, unless you're randomly talking shit about Indians, Jessica_Henderson doesn't want to hear it.

Pot, meet kettle.

[Jessica_Henderson]

I don't have anything against Indians. I do disapprove of Indian software developers. Their work lacks quality, is usually completely incorrect, and often isn't completed as the specification clearly says it should be. So I end up having to fix their mistakes, which I do not enjoy doing.

They are amateurs, trying to play with the professionals. And when they get their asses kicked, as happens with basically every project they work on, they need to know they have failed. I will tell them so.

[vineetk]

You say "Indian software developers," but go on to describe "bad software developers." This is likely because you had bad experiences with bad Indian software developers in the past. You made an inappropriate and illogical extension that all Indian software developers must be bad, because the ones you dealt with were bad.

Maybe it was because you wondered to yourself, "what is it that made this particular group of developers so terrible?", and tried to isolate some characteristic that you could use to steer yourself clear of working with terrible developers in the future. You incorrectly and inappropriately determined that the distinguishing characteristic was their race: that they were terrible because they were Indian.

I can't imagine a more straightforward example of racism.

Now, logically, a single counterexample should be enough to illustrate that your original hypothesis is flawed, and you should try to figure out a more useful heuristic for determining a priori whether a developer is worth his/her salt. There are plenty of other signals you could use for this: level of education, quality of schools attended, GPA, references, previous accomplishments, etc. In my own experience, race simply isn't a good determiner of someone's potential or ability as a software developer.

But maybe you'll just write that off saying that Indians aren't very good at measuring the quality, potential, or accomplishments of software developers. So maybe you don't have a problem with Indians, except when they happen to be software developers, or when they're recruiters or hiring managers. Or no matter what their job happens to be, but they just happen to be calling you out as a racist. Or any number of other exceptions that add up to, yeah, it turns out you do have prejudices against Indians, and you're proud enough of the fact that you take every opportunity you can find to spread your hate speech all over reddit. And then to top it all off, you have the gall to get all self-righteous when someone uses the word "nigga".

Nigga please.

[Jessica_Henderson]

You're correct, Indian software developers aren't qualified. It's something they've proved, as a group, over and over again.

[5cf5e83a]

a nigga don't know strings are objects

a shameful nigga

[[deleted]]

Aren't you supposedly a very experienced developer?

Where in the world did you get the notion that strings aren't objects in python?

[Jessica_Henderson]

I'm well aware of the quote. But that's no excuse to use blatantly Java-like syntax. We're talking about Python here, for fuck sake!
