Works for every PyCon and is quite | instructive. | yuy910616 wrote: | another poster found a way: | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Uw4_HvXqvYk1Y5P8kry... | yuy910616 wrote: | After watching this 2018 talk on typing: | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWV8t494N88 | | and this one last year: | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST33zDM9vOE&t=68s | | and finally this one in 2021: | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj_9TyT3V98 | | I think I'll finally start using type checking - it really seems | to just eliminate a whole class of potential bugs; a class that | is often not tested at that. | wonton53 wrote: | Great! I am so glad more people see types as a useful tool. | Personally I see it as essential, so I struggle to understand | the mind set of people who do not want to use them. I | understand that people think it feels like a lot of work, but | that is like nothing compared to the 90% of time people who | dont use types spend on reading logs and fixng the same issues | every day. I assume people have some sort of amnesia and | thinking <<oh the value was undefined, I have never seen THAT | error before>>, but that is probably just me being bitter. So I | was wondering, since you seem like a super-fresh converted;did | you have any specific reservations originally, and whas there | any specific type of solution to a issue that finally changed | your mind? | yuy910616 wrote: | Glad to share but I'm not sure if I'm representational - I'm | a data analyst who is learning more about backend | engineering. | | I think if you're a SWE or has a CS education or worked with | a compiled language before, you know exactly what kind of | problem typing is solving. For me, I have to first discover | the problem, slowly learn that there is a solution out there, | and finally realizing that my problem can be solved by this | solution. | | The formalization of problem space + the discovery of | solutions + the final realization of matching solutions to | problems are non-trivial. I'm a bit embarrassed that it took | so long and a bit sad. But it is what it is. | ithrow wrote: | That was not condescending at all. | flakiness wrote: | Playlist: | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Uw4_HvXqvYk1Y5P8kry... | This page has full titles of the talks.
