Self-help books are (very) often crap. But when they're good they really push your motivation. So you don't learn a lot because learning requires always doing and failing BUT usually you get some motivation and energy to try it again, start

That's the point: "but it doesn't seem to be too trendy right now" and still, it's pops up every 2nd day here on HN. I am fine with Clojure, Haskell and the new functional trend but just don't get it with Python.

Ok I must admit that my original G-Trends queries don't help a lot but give a least some tendency. Your queries have also shortcoming in giving a good context: don't forget Django is a very popular word, just check Wikipedia and remember th

I am wondering why you are offending node.js and Ruby users. We all try to get a clue of Pythons real-world usage in this thread and you (the original poster) just brand them as hipsters (btw you could also be labeled as one of those who wo

nice queries

good point but check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django Django is more than a web framework, thus I searched for "Python Django"

I did get same for my region. But the question is: do these figures show the real-world usage or rather a resource lag of aging languages--e.g. you have more PHP jobs than Ruby because PHP devs moved to other languages and there are still t

Thanks for the great overview

Yep the same here. Somehow HN lost its first place. PG needs to get advice at Blackhatworld ;)

by pace 15y ago
Can it be true that the Python coverage on HN is overproportional compared to its real world usage? If I look around the world is full of Ruby and Rails. Sites, libs, meetups, developers, everything is on Ruby or Ruby on Rails. Python and D

Yes, you should. How: 1. You are in the EU, so the easiest way regarding entry requirements is to stay within the EU. The hottest tech hub is currently Berlin, the demand for good rails developers is huge. If your are an experienced Rails/i

Either you start a start-up or you don't -- just being employed by an startup doesn't make you a good advisor for founders -- again Scoble never founded something, he is just blogging while having a safe job.

That would be a better title: "Skype Founder paid 4m$ for a To-do List" -- damn ;) > Atomico desperate for investment opportunities? You can get that impression if you take a look at their current portfolio.

Good point. When reading the TC post this is clarified. I used "Skype Founder" as synonym for Atomico in the title for reasons of understandability -- most don't know Atomico from first glance. More precise would be "Skype Founder's Fund in

I think this idiom refers to something different: it's not about the "pedagogical" skills -- everybody who wants to teach or to transfer knowledge needs to be a good "pedagogue" or should have some basic skills. Those who do have much, much

Tons of useless advice from a guy who never delivered a product himself -- excuse my harsh words. Scoble was/is/stays a blogger, always blogging while having a safe job. He never raised, never started a real venture or done an exit. This gu
