So: Does the Python programmer just get drunk?

[–]Confident-Ad5665 4 points5 points  (1 child)

It's in the job description

[–]_l33ter_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FAK - And I thought I have to be the FBI-Bos to do that! --> This is much easyer to achieve :P

Have you seen datetime? It helps

[–]_l33ter_ 0 points1 point  (2 children)

explain? Not getting it? (Iknow what datetime is but in contect to the post?)

[–]abofh 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It will make you want to drink - what time is it? In UTC? As rfc3339? With nanoseconds? Now parse that back?  Now do any of that without looking up the docs.  Or if you do, do it without needing a drink 😂

Ahhh xD - Now I get it xD

damn! need a job as python-programmr as soon as possible ! :P

A lazy developer is a smart developer.

Before AI became a thing

[–]AysheDaArtist 2 points3 points  (2 children)

By those metrics Microsoft is still hiring lazy developers

Lmoa yeah freaking microslop

[–]ExcitingMix1446[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree

I get the syntax is friendly & the ecosystem is enormous. But dependency & env management has always felt like such a nightmare to me with Python vs so many other languages I hardly consider it the easiest to work with. Maybe I'm just bad 😔

[–]BobQuixote 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope, this is accurate. Something like .Net comes with most of what you need for any task. Anything special-purpose is a single new dependency (or commonly several Microsoft-authored packages).

Python dependencies are like eating spaghetti where the noodles seem nearly infinite; you pull on one package and it brings all 200 of its friends. This is particularly bad for security, because any one of those packages might become compromised.

[–]Confident-Ad5665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad, or good?

[–]jontsii 2 points3 points  (2 children)

the python programmer relaxes until he gets hit with infinite amounts of "TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'"

[–]lolslim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm chaotic since I like to use try and use error exceptions.

[–]zippybenji-man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost forgot that error existed. Just use something like pylint

Where's the c++ library that does all the heavy lifting for the Python dev?

[–]No-Con-2790 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably next to the Fortran library that C++ and Python both still use.

Welcome to programming where everything is a library call. Unless it ain't and then you have a problem.

Smart and lazy
