Yea, I’m not sure how accurate some of the methods he’s showing are. I have a pretty large collection of tech books and I had a look at the gluing after he said it. My O’Reilly, Springer, No Starch, Pragmatic and CRC press books all have pr

I also never considered this, I have been looking for a python video editing api and I’m pretty sure blender has some video editing stuff built in. Gonna have to give the blender python api a spin this weekend.

Anecdotally, a lot of devs are picking React over vue at work simply because everyone else is picking React. I was kinda surprised Svelte didn’t even show up given that people are calling it the next in line. I guess React will be the new j

These arguments don’t really make much sense. Python is easy to read, write and teach that’s why it’s a top programming language. The point about speed is nonsense, python is fast when it needs to be due to the ability to optimize python wi
