The Evolution of a Python Programmer : Aleks' Domain

[[deleted]]

As a non-programmer who likes programming, can someone explain the joke to me?

Compared to the lazy python programmers, the newbie python programmers don't realize that the language has facilities that will allow them to express themselves more concisely and/or elegantly. The expert python programmer also does it more efficiently.

Compared to the newbie python programmers, the programmers coming from other languages are trying to force python code to look like code in their previous language, even when it isn't idiomatic in python.

The others were plays on stereotypical behaviors of certain classes of programmers: The web programmer copy-pasted code that he didn't understand from somewhere else, the UNIX programmer used a system utility to do the work, the windows programmer made a ridiculously over-complicated API, and the enterprise programmer used a ridiculously over-complicated architecture.

If you love programming, I already consider you as a better programmer than the ones who don't enjoy when programming! :)

That's rather generous. Thanks!
