When looking for Python questions, it honestly ranks above any random StackOverflow link or the docs for me. The detailed table of contents with links that the author labels “…so…much…nonsense”, is actually the kind of precise “take me to exactly what I want to know quickly” solution they seem to yearn for.
- iainmerrick 3y agoRight, I’m genuinely confused about what the author thinks would be better than that table of contents. I guess they wanted an answer to their specific question and absolutely nothing else? That might work for something as simple as “iterate through a dictionary” but in many other cases the full context is useful so you can figure out for yourself whether the immediate answer actually solves your problem.
- philipwhiuk 3y agoIf the author wanted to write "How to do absolutely anything with a dictionary" they should have titled the article that. Was the first 20 paragraphs on what a dictionary is really useful? No, it's unnecessary verbiage that anyone clicking on an article with the title knows.
