    At work, the team isn’t very good at python. They’re mostly SQL people. Which is fine. I’m happy to mentor and guide.

    The product lady said to me “can you write a guide on confluence about how to do python good?”

    I’m like, people write whole published books about that you gotta pay money for. I’m not going to bang out a couple paragraphs and code blocks and suddenly people are heavy weights.

    I wrote something anyway because I don’t want to further irritate the product lady.
