  • Carrots often have dirt caked on the outside that’s hard to get off with just water, so peeling is a good way to help with that.

    The peel has the healthy bits

    Sort of, but not really. The nutrients of a carrot may be slightly more concentrated in the skin, but all layers of a carrot contain those nutrients. You’re not depriving yourself of an appreciable amount of nutrients by peeling a carrot.




  • Only if there are changes in the same files and on the same lines in both branches. And if you’re a commit freak, you should probably be squashing/amending, especially if you’re making multiple commits of changes on the same lines in the same files. The --amend flag exists for a reason. No one needs to see your “fixed things”, “changed things again”, “fixed it for real” type commits.




  • Look, it’s fine if you prefer other languages to python, I won’t besmirch anyone’s preferences. But literally everything in your post exists in nearly every programming language (minus some of the typing stuff, I’ll give you that, but it’s getting a lot better). Like, every language has some learning curve to setting up tooling, or configuring your IDE the way you like it, or learning how to navigate documentation so that it’s useful, or trying to decide on one of the multiple ways of doing things. I guarantee, as someone with limited experience with Java, I’d have a difficult time setting up and using IntelliJ, and figuring out which build/packaging system I need to use, and figuring out how to use whatever libraries I need, simply because I’m unfamiliar with the ecosystem. That’s all you’re describing - the initial learning curve in getting familiar with a new language. Which is why I pointed out all the things I pointed out. It’s where I start when I’m introducing developers to python.




  • If you need any kind of libraries

    PyPI has a huge selection of libraries

    assistance from an IDE

    PyCharm a super powerful IDE, VSCode has tons of Python extensions that L rival PyCharm’s functionality, lots of other IDEs have decent python support

    or a distribution build

    Not sure exactly what you mean by this

    or you’re more familiar with another language

    Yeah this can be said about any language. “You’re quickest in the language you’re most familiar with”. That’s basically a tautology.



  • Just like any software design principle, it’s understood at a surface level by tons of bad developers who then try and solve every problem with that one principle. Then slightly better developers come along and say “ugh this is gross, OOP is bad!” And then they avoid the principle at all costs and tell everyone how bad it is at every opportunity.
