Wow, he's still got it. I read the whole thing, without realizing it was Guido Rossum, thinking "hey, that's a really good point". Then got to the end and realized it was the inventor of the Python language. So, I wasn't impressed as I was reading it because of who it was, I was impressed because he was making a really good point.
Obviously, the fact that he made my favorite programming language was no fluke.
- maskedinvader 8y agoRamblings through technology, politics, culture and philosophy by the creator of the Python programming language. This was literally the first thing I read when I hit the link. Don't mean to sound rude but how did you miss that ? Does it render differently on web? I saw this on the mobile version of the site on my Android.
- ChrisSD 8y agoFor me that was covered up by some popover I didn't read. Besides the tagline of a blog is the sort of thing I for one gloss over. I've had decades of training how to skip straight to the content.
- maskedinvader 8y agoThat's what I thought, usually even I am trained to skip those few lines under titles (like opinion articles have a blurb about the author )
- rossdavidh 8y agoYeah, that's me exactly.
- ruanmed 8y agoI don't know why, but I did the same thing. I read the post content first, then after finished I went backup and saw the blog title and subtitle. Or I could say my brain was only conscious to reading the blog title and subtitle afterwards.

- kristiandupont 8y agoI had exactly the same experience and I was prepared to criticize because I normally think talk of operators in programming languages tends to add little but confusion and is mostly supported by programmers eager to do clever (i.e. incomprehensible) things.
