Like any other developer out there, I collected some bad experiences in my growth. In my 14-year career, 2015-2016 were spectacularly bad years for me, definitely the worst. It has to do with focus and productivity, not competence. I must say I didn't think it was so bad as to leave this kind of sentiment behind. If you worked with me in that period, perhaps you'll be pleased to read this: http://hire.jonasgalvez.com.br/2017/Jul/16/My-Approach-to-Remote-Work http://hire.jonasgalvez.com.br/2017/Jul/16/My-Approach-to-Re... Since then I'm confident all my current employers will wholeheartedly vouch for the quality and persistence of my work, as you can easily peak from my GitHub graph. http://github.com/galvez http://github.com/galvez I flagged your post nonetheless. I believe HN is no place for ad hominem attacks.

I don't know how to say it without you taking it as a personal attack, but I think it's important to say so you can take the opportunity and learn or at least think about it; If you say things like that I quoted, you are incompetent and you have to learn a lot. I feel I have to say this because you send the wrong message to a wider audience which I really hate. Also I skimmed your library httplib2 and it's at least terrible to read. Again, you can take this as a personal attack, flag this comment also, be mad or whatever, or buy Clean Code and start reading, also start learning more about Python idioms from people who are really good at it, e.g. Raymond Hettinger, Armin Ronacher

  httplib2 isn't my library, it's Joe Gregorio's, one of the best developers you'll ever read about. As for the "if you say X, you're incompetent" line of arguing, seriously? If I say I prefer a language because it makes me write functional code faster (in my perception) and disagree that Python is better than JavaScript then I'm incompetent? Seriously, guys? BTW, I dig Armin Ronacher's work too. His Python code, how beautiful it may look, doesn't diminish any of the points I raised about JavaScript nor my love for it. I'm done paying attention to this thread.
