Development environment is a mess, but given its popularity, it’s not difficult to find an up to date tutorial. Then it is the easiest I think, you will be able to try programming basics and get a minimum viable product (small web app, small analytics…) easlier than with any other language.

I try to contribute to things getting better, sometimes through polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to refine the arguments that make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

Some people think that because Python is the easiest language to learn, it’s going to be easy to learn programming with Python. But learning programming is still very hard, so many abstract concepts to grasp. Python just makes it a tiny less hard, almost insignificantly now that we can use an LLM to learn the syntax faster than than ever.
I’m glad that there’s no micro transactions nor loot boxes.

How do you agree on a meeting time with a group of people who all live in different places of your country?
That’s a good idea! Instead of discrete timezones, let’s have continuous timezones!

Are you one of those rare developers who spend most of their day actually coding?
Absolutely insane how much quicker it is too do stuff with vim motions than ctrl-shift-arrows and the like
Those tasks are a very small part of work time, so most people don’t feel the need to optimize it.
Is that from the Microsoft engineer or did he start from this observation?
I had no idea that Tumblr was active again? I thought all Tumblr posts from the past 5 years were just recycled old stuff.

For sure, I wanted to remind the date because it makes it obvious that it couldn’t be much used in the 2000’, even its second half is too short.
It was released in 2005.
But at least you know you’re a bad boy and Santa will know too.
I agree that you will learn more abstract concepts with more low level languages, but they are often not necessary. See Scala, beautiful language, lot’s of fancy subtle computer science concepts, and a plummeting popularity since its main popularizer, Apache Spark, implemented a Python API.
