\nMy notes<\/h3>\n
\nA hack? An easter egg? A feature? Whatever. The tester in me finds this cool!<\/p>\n
\nI never thought I would live to see this day. “Python programmer” does not feel right. Anyway, Python is not popular in India. I have no clue why. I faced a somewhat related issue when hiring testers in India. Testers thought that I insisted on Python – I do not. There was also a mental block of thinking Python was some esoteric and hard to use “programming language”. Luckily I do not hire testers based on how well they code.<\/p>\n
\nI never understood why I could not spend all my waking hours playing chess. Actually I still cannot understand it. I hated the sorting when I was in school. Why bother? Good that the topic is becoming more mainstream.<\/p>\n
\nIf you are an engineer, I bet your real stand up update looks like this. I also like the color scheme – grey scale with just the right amount of color. The wall of text, usually a big no no in cartoons, in the final panel works well here.<\/p>\n
\nWow! 3 hours of television time per game and only 11 minutes of the ball moving around? No wonder football (soccer for Americans<\/a>) is struggling to grow faster in the US. Well played, television networks. Well played!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
