Writing something for the second time is a significantly different experience so that makes the conclusion much less definitive to me. Did they need python at all the first time - maybe not.
Python "velocity" is, to me, more about the ease with which you can make changes without breaking other code. You can still break other code and if you don't have a proper test suite then you're wasting your time - which is something that smells slightly in the story.
- jnwatson 4y agoYeah. Having runtime errors in a non-trivial Python code base is indicative of poor test coverage.
- obviouslynotme 4y agoThis is my feeling as well. The biggest problem with new projects is that you don't know what the product will look like in advance, even if you think you do. Restructuring code, especially with full 20/20 hindsight, will make that code much better.
