Kiddie Resources

Illustrated explanations are generally superior in information density to "chapter book" style explanations. Visuals allow a tutorial to speak at a high level without losing beginners.

Such materials are often designed for kids. I was pointed to Phippy when I asked a question on HN. I intend to be on the look out for more such sources.

I love this in part because I actually took some Greek in college. Kubernetes is just a Greek word meaning captain. It is also linguistically related to governor, a term used both politically and in engineering.

New Accounts

You can set up a new account to save your wardrobe but can't order anything until you get measured. Setting up a new account will prompt you to make an appointment with the nearest certified seamstress allowed to measure you. This potentially tells us where to go certify a bunch of new people. If enough people create an account in x city, we make sure to arrange a certified seamstress as soon as possible if there isn't one yet.

To Python or not to Python?

I've had a lot of people recommend Python to me as a language I should learn. I have just tripped across this comment on HN : Not to be a total smartass, but if your Python codebase is not that big yet, then the correct answer is none of the above- rewrite in a compiled language if you find the lack of static checks disturbing. I have been using "type checked" python for a year and let me tell you, it is not even 10% as good as having a real compiler. Python type checkers are not even close to 100% accuracy. Now I'm wondering if Python is really a good first language to learn or not.
