I typically start by adding some test cases or extract code (say as a function/method) add code to test it and keep repeating the cycle. I feel confident with this approach, especially with dynamiclly typed language like Python.

I think all the more jarring is the smiling face of the spokesperson next to this announcement. Atleast can't the announcement be not with a photo or have a serious looking photo of the spokesperson.

The Cuckoo's Egg by Clifford Stoll . This book taught me how important it is to keep a log of events. These logs come in very handy when the problem one trying to debug spawns multiple complex systems.

Not really :) and I am not the OP. This article [1] provides a very good overview of the repository organization Google has and the reasons behind it. I think the reason that this works for well Google is the amount of test automation that

Something along similar lines, I am not very comfortable in using cuss words in my native language whereas I feel less compunction in using cuss words in languages I have learned. In general I swear rarely, but when I do feel like swearing

Then probably it might be a good idea to add a note about avoiding its usage in your book. Thanks for the book and making it available for free.

I see that that the book has a section on usage of For-Else construct. Personally I found this construct to be confusing, and avoid its usage as one can achieve the same by setting a flag (say). Is this construct much used ?
