Re:Why Is Python So Popular, If It’s So Darn Slow? on Thursday February 23, 2017 @07:11PM (#13719330)
I think of Python like a Swiss Army Knife of programming.

Like a swiss army knife, it is no replacement for a butcher knife however it's convenient, easy and for most cases it gets the job done.

Re:Why I dropped static-site generators in favor of WordPress on Wednesday February 22, 2017 @04:59PM (#13709598)
I totally get the appeal of using static-site generators, I just don't understand why anyone would want to use it for a blog. As a programmer I use tools that are very complex; however, for those tools, there is no simpler alternative. When it comes to things that are outside of my work, I try to keep things as simple as possible, because the simpler it is the less I have to worry about it and the less sleep I loose at night over it.
