This.

Keep in mind people that a job interview is to check wether you want to work with the person, not to judge if they "pass" the test.

Or to say it differently, they don't have to find and fix the bug, they have to demonstrate ability with the tools, a good attitude, a match with your work culture.

Ok, time to link a book : Free to learn by Peter Gray https://www.amazon.com/Free-Learn-Unleashing-Instinct-Self-R...

Or how and why parents and adults should really stop trying to control their children.

All big stores are doing it now in France (in large cities at least). It's called "<store>-drive" (like you would have a "Walmart-drive" in the USA). Some are doing it next to the shop, others try new warehouses at different locations (because one of the incentives is to avoid traffic too).

It's far from perfect; but at least you don't have to walk the store for hours.

Also, no tip culture in France, but workers seem to run against the clock, so I suppose they have incentives to deliver fast.

Do we have the same for Microsoft products? Even as a developer, I can't understand half of what they're proposing. Like what the hell is Sharepoint anyway?

Or what is SAP?

I love the README.md's style of writing. It tells a story, and you're bound to read it.

This article was written in the mental state of hate. The author may well reread it, and remove all the hate. He can have the opinion that Python3 is not suited for teaching where Python2 is, but his arguments are in fact just opinions.

Another problem in the tone: no respect for his readers.

    "if *I* struggle to use Python's strings then you don't have a chance."

Title : "your entire programming stack".

I feel sad when I find that web programmers think there are only web stacks and "programming" refers only to web programming.

It is not entirely the case here, but the description of "a core system" as :

- Database layer

- Remote API layer

- Application layer

made me tick.

I play on Codingame on and off for some years now, and the fact is: it is a game. And this game is played by programming.

Thus, it is really good to try out a new language, because it is fun immediately.

Doing the contests is also really fun, since you are compelled to improve your program more and more. And if you're still new to programming, you experience very soon the problems coming with "poorly written code" (as poorly maintanable code).
