[Tech Talk] Python 101

I thought I'd signed up to be a code monkey, and now I have to write articles too. Honestly...

I just woke up, was wandering around outside with nothing to do, and figured I'd drop in to learn from the master. Then you suddenly bring up marriage... I haven't even brushed my teeth!

But I'm not that irresponsible. You've already clicked in, so I can't send you away empty-handed, right?

When it comes to coding, most people spend the first five minutes learning:

print(“hello world!”)

It seems fun, but it's actually useless.

If it's useless, why does every software engineer teach it this way?

The answer is simple: they don't want you learning to code and stealing their jobs.

I'm different. I'm going to reveal the ultimate secret to becoming a software engineer, right here.

The truth is, as a software engineer, you only need to master two skills:

ctrl + C → Copy

ctrl + V → Paste

Don't think it's that easy. Right now, in front of your screen, follow along with me once.

Got it?

Excellent. Report for work tomorrow.

And don't think I'm pulling your leg.

As Jack Ma-code once said,

Copy-paste is when I'm at my most productive.

And Steve Jobless said back in 2008,

Master copy and paste, and a single coder's worries are erased.

So if you want to be a software engineer, copy-paste really is a crucial discipline.
