The sad thing about it is, even if these organizations are truly egalitarian, in whatever sense; there will still be people who feel contrarywise -- that the failure of their ideas is on account of in-groups. It's an interesting catch-22.

All these are good (to avoid).

I'd add to the comments to that start a certain way: 'nope' I don't know exactly why but I find this phrasing both dismissive and insulting. Also, all those starting with adverbs, like 'Interestingly,...'. Just say what you got to, I say. It hurts the message if what follows isn't interesting at all. Edit: I'm not trying to insult anyone, I just think this kind of formality where one has to justify, verbally, the existence of ones comment is distracting.

I'd also add the gross over- and misuse of italics for emphasis. I'd almost say it was a phenomenon. Like the amount of emphasis italics is inversely proportional to to commenters knowledge of the subject.

I agree Python isn't simple at all, but I think it does have a kind of surface simplicity that its culture reinforces. 'one obvious way', etc.

Or to put it another way its a language you can do a lot with without caring too much about details.

Or to put it another way still you can go a long way with Python, Stack Overflow, and a bit of copy and paste.
