Visualizing How Developers Rate Their Own Programming Skills

Yeah, I've definitely developed an aesthetic taste for code cleverness. Like, one time I was writing some python and using third-party code that expects a list of user-provided classes. It was really annoying and I kept passing it a bare class which made things fail. I ended up making a class that behaves like a list containing itself, and it completely "fixed" the problem. That really shouldn't be production code, though.

Why didn't you just pass one element list with your class with it, for example:

  class MyClass:
     pass

  class_list = [MyClass]
  third_party_function(class_list)
  # or just 
  third_party_function([MyClass])

creating some simple wrapper for third party function, e.g.

  def wrapper(C):
     third_party_function([C])

could also be much simpler solution :)

But it's maybe off topic.
