Developer struggling with Python, circa 200BC
@maaikees I'm just going to say this: literally none of my coworkers look like that. I guess early Python developers had more time to go to the gym.
@flipper @maaikees
Back when these were made they were decorated with bright colours and the paint faded/decayed with time, even if the statues look black now they're not necessarily wearing conference t-shirts, its just that the decorations degraded over time
@EndlessMason @flipper @maaikees The bright color function is wrapped in a @deprecated decorator
@flipper @maaikees yeah Continuous Development was done manually at the time, nowadays it’s all fed to us through pipelines.
@flipper @maaikees Libraries do a lot of the heavy lifting these days.

"i'm *trying* to upgrade to python3 but there are dependencies!"

@maaikees Elder software componentry in action:
@maaikees Begs the question: are there Greek penguins?..

I've been struggling for over a month, 3.14.2 has been a hell of a snake

@maaikees

@maaikees As a 40 year programming and computer science educator, I have nothing but contempt for Python. It didn't motivate learning programmers to bother to understand the very data the language manipulates. Ugly to boot. Good luck with your vibe coding, you full stack ignoramuses.

@andrewrock @maaikees

What computer language do you use?

@cbuddenhagen @maaikees Depends on the task. Retired now, so projects are just for me. I use Haskell whenever I can, C/++ when I must, OpenSCAD for 3D design, and am playing with ARM64 assembly for no practical reason at all.
@maaikees I think it's legacy! πŸ˜‰

@maaikees Opt2: Type safety / type inference is battling with Python
@maaikees understandable as he looks like a wisdom developer πŸ€“
Interesting dress code, @maaikees
