Trying to think about why I rather enjoyed the Furiosa Mad Max movie as opposed to all of the hate I had towards the Dune movie. Maybe it's the fact that Mad Max just leaned into it and said "let's actually not explain the insanity of what's happening by making it even more insane" whereas Dune tried to explain what was happening with a bunch of inaudible whispering and mystical mumble jumble. Should have just had war rigs battling sandworms or something...
@faassen Honestly, a big part of my Python frustration is in tooling fragmentation. There are too many type checkers, too many package managers, too many linters, and so on.
To pick on types, I'd like it a whole lot more if it were just part of the core language, not a tool add-on.
@glitzersachen@gvwilson What I'm saying is that learning probably should be separate from "production" whatever that might mean in the context of work. You're not going to go tinker with production on some kind of experimental learning project (nor would most employers want you to).
On the other hand, there's basic competence called being "good enough" to do your job. That's fine. But if you're telling me that being bad at that is somehow "learning", then I'm going to disagree.
@PeterLudemann Reflection upon past mistakes is almost certainly part of learning. But, it assumes mistakes. If you never make mistakes at all, maybe that's admirable, but it doesn't sound like much growth going on either.
@bignose I think part of the problem is that I'm not thinking about work at all. And especially not what I would call job-related "training."
What I am thinking about is the fact that my time on this fine planet is measured in decades and that over that time, I might not want to do the same thing over and over again. I might want to improve my skills by challenging myself with things I'm curious about, but not so good at (yet). That's on me.
