Stuff I did today

Submitted a question to Reddit to try to figure out how to do my pull request and did my pull request.

Went into my github account and deleted my Hello-World2 repository that I started cuz reasons and it was basically empty. (I didn't even go through the full tutorial that time.)

Instead of doing more tutorials, I'm just moving on to doing things in github. That's a better way to really learn and a more valuable use of my time.

Read Programming is hard and left a comment about it on HN. (No, I haven't (Yet?) read the other comments.)

Read Maslow's pyramid of code review. It's a short piece I found via HN (though I haven't (yet?) read the comments on HN).

Apparently my brain has spontaneously started working and I may be able to work towards learning to program now. It's wonderful to be reasonably healthy, lordy.

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.
