learned sounds a touch condescending to me for some reason. The python community has certainly run into it, but (anecdote time) in my experience people still often rely on pypi for their deploys (but use the --mirrors option to pip).
Encountered may be more appropriate.
- pekk 14y agoI think you are being oversensitive about a tiny difference of wording, maybe due to some prior history with the Python community?
- stock_toaster 14y agoNo negative history certainly. I write python code all day long at $dayjob. It just struck me as odd wording. Thanks for the perspective at any rate. Maybe too much coffee for me this morning? :)
- Pewpewarrows 14y agoTrue, "learned" does sort of imply that it's a best practice now used by nearly everyone in the community. I know that's far from the truth. "Encountered" is more appropriate, so I'll edit my OP.
- acdha 14y agoI read “learned“ as in “learned the hard way”, which definitely has a different feel
