Now I wonder if there's correlation to a developer's preferred language, and their outlook in life.
Do Gophers live under a shroud of nihilism, while Pythonistas run about their business laissez-faire, leaving issues for others or a future them to deal with?
- bheadmaster 3y agoIn my experience, writing Python was often followed by dread of some random exception popping up in production because my unit tests didn't pick it up. Writing Go was a much more pleasant experience, I always felt like the code does exactly what I want.
- sk0g 3y agoWriting Python is great, maintaining it is miserable. Conversely, writing Go is miserable, but maintaining it is great. Logically, the best of both worlds my work has arrived at is Python and on-call for more senior engineers... Fuck. The sheer amount of None-type, or object doesn't have member X errors is pretty ridiculous.
