I guess if learning 90% of something takes 90 minutes, the remaining 10% will take 10 years.
- scalesolved 9y agoAnd that is where problems start with keen and eager junior developers who think by knowing the 90% they really know the 100%.
- EToS 9y agoAbsolutely. Not using mutable variables as default arguments = 91%
- milesrout 9y agoPython doesn't have 'mutable variables'. I think you mean 'not binding mutable values as default arguments', but that's totally fine. What's wrong is not understanding when default arguments are bound. There's nothing inherently wrong with this: class Wrapper: def __init__(self, wrapped): self.wrapped = wrapped def counter(): def inner(w=Wrapper()): w.wrapped += 1 return w return inner

- LrnByTeach 9y ago> I guess if learning 90% of something takes 90 minutes, the remaining 10% will take 10 years. Wow !!! so funny , but TRUE
- andybak 9y ago(off topic but I felt a word of advice might prove useful). If you find yourself downvoted and wonder why - please consider two things that don't go down well on Hacker News: 1. Arbitrary capitalization for emphasis and multiple exclamation marks makes you sound a little breathless and over-excited. 2. Your post was pretty much content-free.
