This is one of the most clever comments I’ve seen in a good while. I hope you meant it to be as funny as it is and that others recognize the double meaning.
The truly terrifying outcome is that it works after changing nothing. Sometimes bugs are the most fun to squash.
ducaale/xh is another much like curl. Closer to postman are Hoppscotch and Insomnia.
Python is strongly typed. I get your point since it is dynamically typed, but still strongly.

Haha. One of you chuckleheads has gone and done it. Whoever you are…
We will be watching your career with great interest.
Oh no; all good. I just didn’t understand. Price is a bit high, but I suppose just a sign of the times.
I don’t know what you mean. There is no squatting here. That is a genuine listing from marcaria.com, one of the few registrars authorized to sell Anguilla domains.
Me too. If I had something of merit to say, I’d consider grabbing it. But it is so surprising that I keep checking after posting this, expecting somebody will grab it.
Wasn’t the fun the CPU cycles we wasted along the way?
Some wisdom my dad shared with me decades ago: when you’ve lost everything and must rebuild, the rebuild is ALWAYS better. As a programmer for a very long time who has done what you did, I have found this to be true. So there is your silver lining.
Some of us would argue 10 is the n+1 th number because zero comes first. Otherwise you’re just throwing a new digit into the mix when you get to 10.
I was able to make no inferences about any of the statements or what they mean.
I didn’t say the source of failure. I said a source of ambiguity. And having also been in the industry for decades, I have encountered it many times, where a junior programmer or somebody new to a project read some documentation and assumed a behavior which in fact did not match the current implementation. So you may have been fortunate, but your experience is certainly not ubiquitous.
With respect to variable names, I’d suggest those too should absolutely be updated too if the name is given in a way that adds ambiguity.
I’m not saying comments are bad; rather that bad comments are bad, and sometimes worse than no comment.
And your colleagues are probably correct with respect to this sort of «what it does» commenting. That can be counterproductive because if the code changes and the comment isn’t updated accordingly, it can be ambiguous. Better have the code be the singular source of truth. However, «why it does it» comments are another story and usually accepted by most as helpful.
