Python poetry!
02 Apr 2016Long time, no blogging! To say I haven’t been blogging lately because I’ve been busy wouldn’t be entirely true, I just haven’t found anything fun to write about.
I lay awake the other night and thought, I gotta write SOMETHING!. Then it struck me: Python poetry. Billion dollar idea, right? Perhaps not, but I feel that I owe much of my self-proclaimed prowess as a developer to the Python language. Lately I’ve been using node.js more and more in cases I would have used Python, had you asked me some years ago. That’s why I wanted to write this poem as an homage to how much Python has helped me out. Here it goes:
I started out coding, some five years ago, the language was MATLAB, though I wish it was Go.
I don’t think Go existed when I started coding (at least I had no idea it existed), but hey, it rhymes!
I was really tired, of tough physics lore, I went to switch majors, to code even more.
For reference, during my first semester at NTNU, I was majoring in Applied Physics, before I switched to Communications Technology.
I first was astounded, how simple it was, when I first coded Python, I felt like a boss!
At first it was for-loops, and functions and such, And then there was Django, it assisted me much.
Django is really what taught me to develop web applications, which is what has become my bread and butter (in the future, hopefully, at least) as a career developer. However, it is important to expand one’s horizon as a developer:
While Python has helped me, to get good with code, lately I’ve tended to do more with node(.js)
The .js in node.js is silent, right?
That does it for this time. I hope you had fun reading this (it was fun to write, at least!). Until next time!
