My hypothesis is that there's a (positive) correlation between level of experience and preference for written documentation over video documentation - I think videos are reasonably well suited for tutorials (if you are the type of person who can learn from a video at all) but poorly suited for the reference documentation that more experienced devs are more likely to use.<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programming</a>

FlounderDear <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#python</a> noobs, Python has a fantastic standard library, please use it. I know you just got out of a bootcamp where you memorized how to write quicksort, but for the love of Guido skim through the standard library so you don't try to reproduce URL parsing (see `urllib.parse`), or date-math (see `datetime`, `datetime.timedelta` is your friend). I guarantee you have better things to do than to reproduce the standard library poorly.I'm tired of debugging your code
