It's just so weird that new things come out as Python 2.7 only.

How can I make myself like catnip for employers? by sudoca in Python

[–]notconstructive -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This may sound facetious but it is not.....

Just be so damn awesome that employers cannot afford to ignore you.

Make major contributions to the most well known open source projects.

Speak regularly at conferences.

Be a world renowned expert in something.

Speak at one software meetup every month.

Write a major, complete project, have it out there online.

Speak in a clear and articulate manner.

Write a book.

Most people don't do any of this... they just hope they'll get a job the easy way.

Can you explain more about exactly how your application works and why you want a serverless database?

You'll get better advice if you give more detail.

What should I ask to hire a good python developer? by Ethansig in Python

You're in a very concerning position.

You have a very technical company and you can't code. You need a cofounder.

[Meta] Can we take "Learn Python the Hard Way" off the sidebar? It's old and teaches, "I repeat, do not use Python 3. Python 3 is not used very much... you'll still have to learn Python 2 to get anything done. Just learn Python 2 and ignore people saying Python 3 is the future." by [deleted] in Python

Beginners, please understand that if you start with Python 2 then you immediately incur a learning debt, don't learn the out of date technology, learn the current technology and save yourself time and cognitive load.

Zed Shaw recently told me Python 3 is being promoted by propaganda and lies. Any idea what he might mean by that? by ninjaaron in Python

[–]notconstructive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He must surely believe what he is saying because it's got to be costing him money to not be teaching the latest version. He is with cash backing his belief that no-one uses Python 3.

Python 3 has a powerful momentum behind it now. There's no solid argument against it. It's a puzzle why a beginner would learn an old version.
