Since I’m moving on jobs I have about 2 weeks of time to chill out and transition at the end of January. For part of that time I’m jetting off with Danny, but part of it I’m intending on writing and making videos for the Microbit project after some discussions with David.
Today’s blog is about as meta as you can get. Yesterday my friend asked me for tips on how to write good. I’m not sure I’m the best person to answer, but I did and I sounded clever, so I thought I’d share some tips.
I was reading this article today on Zed Shaw’s tear down of why Python 3 is actually an inside job. He doesn’t seem to understand typing so I thought I’d draw a diagram again.
One of the big bad and ugly things about python is that the vast majority of scripts don’t have (or in fact, need) a GUI. This means if you dig a little under the surface and try to write a GUI or package an app for people who don’t want or need python on their machine, it’s easy to get put off by the mess that’s under there and the lack of other people there are to moan at get help from.
