The Python Corner monthly newsletter, October 2020
Hi everyone!
This month I have selected four Python articles for you that I’m sure you will like.
The first two are about the language. The first is for writing Pythonic code and the second discusses the difference between sync and async Python.
The other two are about Python 3.9 that has been released on October the 11th and trust me: it’s a great release!
Then I have added the other two links that are ”bonus content” since they are not Python-related. The first one talks about the impostor syndrome, that is something everyone has probably felt in its life. The second one is a great piece of journalism by Mona Simpson, Steve Jobs’ natural sister. Steve passed away on October the 5th in 2011 and I think this is a great way to remember him.
Last but not least: you may have noticed that on the python corner we have fewer banners and ads. Running the site has some costs and I need banners (and coffee) to keep it up, but I’m also trying to find the correct balance between the earnings and the user experience. I hope you will appreciate this.
Enjoy the newsletter, and as always, if you like what I did… support me buying me a coffee! :)
