@irene I am highly concerned that easiest things in the life it is also easy to invent or reinvent :)

@magicMirror I have thought of it. But it wouldn't be as much efficient in time or complexity as things that some experienced people had already created. I can reimplement things for fun (and I do sometimes), but I still need, for example, use MySQL, not invent my own database engine.

@irene it is always evil advice.... always! 👹
@SavageRandy ok. ppl tell me that my sarcastic tone will always get through to the other side. Even in 4 word emails!
Guess they were wrong....
also, for real this time:
never write your own sort, use a good library. Never write your own ORM, use a good library, also, reg[eE]x(s|) are not fun. not even close.

@irene the problem is not sort, it’s to write all test cases have to test the sort 🤦♂️

As a Python user and the fucking unicode mess, this is sooooo mean!
I just started working on a little project to browse devrant from terminal. It converts images to ascii art!
Had a job interview today as a Junior Python dev. The hardest part: they asked things, that I used to learn in some time in the past, but got rusty in my memory because I don't use em much. Like "to write func that sorts array". Last time I was writing sorting without standard library at least half a year ago. Same with the regular expressions (need em the most once in several months) or sql expressions (last time - 7 month ago). How to remember these things?
