Same here. I do game development in C# and Python is my goto for sketching POCs for complex mechanics, despite never formally learning the language. It could easily be the difference between spending the whole day vs two hours on the same issue.

I thought the dynamic vs static typing debate was pointless until I joined a large Python project. Now I pretty much consider anyone that can keep up with one superhuman.

- xapata 5y agoThat's a theme, for sure. "We don't have enough time to refactor!" is generally less true than "We need to slow down to go faster."
