yeah nah, life is far too short for that. Part of the reason why I use python is not because its "brilliant" its because it has most of the stuff you need built in. I'm too old for supporting my own tech debt. Yes, its slow, yes there are bits that stink of poo. But 95% of the time there is something that'll do the job, most of the time. I'm not going to put my self on the hook for supporting the 0.5% cornercases the appear in 85% of all incident reviews. Should I need something specific, then of course I'll write it, but only after google has said no, or the libs I've found don't work. Its a silly rule, and I imagine stems from a young buck wanting to prove them selves. Thats great, but I finish at 17:00, and I don't ever intend on staying late. I suggest everyone tries it at least once. It'll make you a better engineer, honest.
