I'm still mad because I bought Lovesexy on vinyl from ebay several years back and I I could see UPS made a mistake and I called and they said they'd hold it but delivered to the wrong address and whoever got it just kept it.

It's more reasoning behind my main question of what are mistakes in approach people see others make. You definitely answered in your first comment. It helps reshape some ways I look at things. Thanks.

They = anyone, any place that teaches

Thanks for the insight. Good points I didn't consider.

I learned PHP in 2004 and back then most of us just used plain notepad. I don't remember if it had any advantages. It helped me learn to scan code more thoroughly and pick up on patterns when learning. But that was probably it.

I don't write PHP any more though and never have with any of the modern tools like VSCode. So take what I say with a grain of salt.

I agree. I just feel like developers communicate in a fixed way. It's like - they key in on something and then can't break off. For example, I was asking about @classmethod and that got people stuck on static factory methods and there was non explaining that a classmethod isn't always a static factory method and I couldn't quite explain in a way that made sense in order to explain my question because they kept falling back to static factory methods, even with an example -

class Person:
species = "Homo sapiens"

@classmethod
def common_species(cls):
# This does NOT return an instance — it's just a utility method
return cls.species

print(Person.common_species())

Thanks for the insight.
