> you're not very good at computers.

Yup, I guess I am not. Been coding for over 20 years, went through over a dozen different PLs and only Python - the best fucking friend who doesn't sugar coat it, tells you without stuttering - "you suck at this, buddy"

     # PEP 9001: Constructive Computing Feedback

     ## Abstract

     This PEP proposes a standardized error message for situations where Python interpreters shall inform the user of insufficient computational competence.

     ## Specification

     When a user attempts to execute Python code that supposedly should work but it doesn't, the interpreter shall emit:

         You're suck at computers

It's not hard. It's just annoying to deal with this shit on constant basis. Like just the other day, the tests wouldn't pass locally, while they're passing on CI. I was scratching my head for sometime, turns out there was breaking change in csv.QUOTE_STRINGS or something, between 3.12 and 3.13 of Python. How the fuck did they manage to fix/improve fucking csv logic introducing a breaking change?


I'm always suspicious of people who go "this is easy" as a way to put others down.

...especially when it's about problems that are universally accepted as not being trivial, and often require entire teams and ecosystems (Docker, Poetry, uv) to solve in scale.


This is such a hilarious comment.

Thank you for making my day.


Hey Gen Z, as long as I have you on the line, could you please explain 67 to me?

I've heard of "68 and I'll owe you one", so is 67 about owing you two?


I'm having a hard time coping with my social media addiction while doing some fairly hardcore development on an STM32 based platform so sorry :)

Incidentally, when will you (multiple) come and visit?

It's been too long.


I owe you at least one or two! Maybe we can test your drones out on that Russian guy with the GoFundMe campaign, then I'll owe you three! ;)


thats a gen alpha thing sorry unc


Oh yeah? Well the jerk store called, and they’re running out of you!
