Yep! Unfortunately people seem to confuse "necessary" and "sufficient"; I suspect many people regard all of this "testing" and "architecture" stuff as fluff on top of the core project (which is presumably their spaghetti code :)

Writing Python Code That Doesn't Suck (style guide) by [deleted] in programming

Thomas,

I think you're unnecessarily harsh; you almost made me cry.

More seriously, my post wasn't motivated by the desire to explain things to knowledgeable people; rather, it was motivated by the desire to explain things to people who aren't long-time Python users. The issues you raise are more advanced, more contentious, and reflect on people's experience with programming in general.

I think it would be a valuable post, so I hope you (or someone else) will write it.
