Have you thought of wriitng a book out of this single article? I mean this is unnecessary so long that i have to stop readhing after first paragraph. What makes you think adding that poor girl in your story will make this article viral? I am so annoyed that i had to write this negative comment on this never version of Bible that you have written. Both have same similarities: no one reads them

On second thought, loved the core content. Keep publishing (:

Errr, I’m not trying to make this article go viral. On the contrary, my writing is so niche that it will never get in Python newsletters or such things.

And that’s fine.

It’s not for everyone. I accept that.

I write the sort of articles I’d love to read. And that I like to write. I don’t mind if others don’t like them (although I know many do)

By this logic you should write your article in your personal diary, better on tissue papers that you can carry on your back pocket all day long for only you to read.

I gave you a constructive feedback, to help you become a better writer. I will continue to be your subsciber because it help me become a better pythonic programmer.

Just wishing you could help a lot more people with right changes. ♥️

But what about the thousands who read and enjoy the articles every week as they are now? There isn’t a shortage of Python publications. Perhaps there are many who want something different from the classic tutorials? Just a thought

I don’t force anyone to read my articles. So I don’t feel bad for publishing my personal writing in my own style.

We enjoy your writing. We may not comment but after hours of staring at concrete code. I come here to learn interesting ways around complex problems. This is how I wish I was taught to code back in my day. Everrytime I make an error in passing a parameter to a function, I recall the white room and Monty. The empty boxes without labels and such and… huh I know how I can make some variable accessible to some other function down my lines of code.
