  • I was brought up on C, did a module of Java at uni, and am doing an algorithms course which is python heavy.

    My other half - who’s quite handy with Python - looks in sheer horror at my code which is littered with semicolons.

    I was stumped for half an hour figuring out why the Python interpreter was bouncing an error before it had even reached the main program logic… turns out a { before the block of code royally ruins the interpreter’s day.

    Still, I live and learn.




  • Are you not referring to a fixed-term project rather than part-time? I’m making the assumption that the reference to “half-time” is describing a reduced-hours term of appointment, as in working 18, 20, 24hrs, or whatever per week rather than 37 or 40.

    That’s certainly fairly common in the UK - especially for those with domestic commitments or for those on double decent incomes.
