I am glad that she is doing more videos.

You are really good at teaching. Your videos are fun. The tongue in cheek humour("birds" & in background) is hysterical. The production quality is phenomenal. Impressive. Keep up the good work.

Decorators are pretty cool. I love to use em. You can even use decorators to sorta register a function with a class that defines a callable, it contains the __call__ magic method. This is how that Flask package works.

I think she meant actually creating new method decorators

We're so glad you're with us, Socratica Friend!! 💜🦉

Some people suggest using Cython if speed is the concern, also i think Numpy is written in C such as other libraries that require fast computation. Python is generally used as a glue language where you maximize the advantages of python and only call functions written in faster languages.

Thanks bro

You are too kind, Socratica Friend!! We're so happy you've found us. 💜🦉

You are so kind, thank you for your encouraging words!! 💜🦉

This is so great to hear!! 💜🦉

PS loved the rabbits in the background during the Fibonacci sequence

No, you're not. Python can also be used to fix image rendering, for example.

We use Visual Studio Code in Zen Mode. 🧘‍♀️

Interesting. That is a fair assessment.

The point of the fibonacci explanation seemed to be exactly what you're saying, though? To walk the viewer through the problems to get the better solution? Teaching blind rote is how you get terrible software developers. Teaching how to find the problem and solve it will get us wonderful software developers. I'm not sure what you mean by "normal person" here, because if I were hiring a developer (I am one), I would hire the one who knew how to solve problems without having all of the information -- instead of the one who had all of the information memorized, I don't care how many of the patterns they can name from That Book. It's a bit condescending to speak of folks who are self-teaching in this manner. I'm not sure you meant that, as it's clear your intention is to improve the content, but in a way you're insulting the very audience who is enjoying and learning. We're not here for design principals or algorithm critique; this isn't that channel. We're here to learn basics and help others learn them as well. If you think of this series as helping teach people how to _learn how to program, using python as the teaching language_ and not "how to python", you might see what I mean?

@@tsalVlog I think you are very generous in your interpretation of the video. The trope you are referring to is actually used to present a bad practice as an improvement. Nowhere is it said that this use of decorators shows poor separation of concerns, to the contrary, this fact is completely obscured, and the comical over-engineering of global_fibonacci is not addressed. I want to stress again that I know this is not a video about good design, but it is teaching a terrible approach to programming, which is to substitute good design with tools: instead of teaching that the testing logic should be moved to the testing code, you are taught a powerful way to couple the testing logic with the implementation. This is totally backwards. I have a difficult time in my job explaining to people that, just because they have a powerful testing library at they disposal for example, it does not mean they can butcher the architecture. I am forced to deal with the aftermath of this way of teaching. I am also self-taught, and you have no idea the amount of time I have wasted because of poor quality learning material. I wish I could rewind time, start over and take different decisions. Socratica obviously put a lot of effort in the production of this video, and they seem to be a reliable source, so it strikes me as odd that the issues I mentionned were overlooked. Teaching is not about making you aware of new information. It is about changing the structure of your brain. The problem when you learn the wrong thing is that you identify the wrong thing as the "right way", and since you want to be a good developer, you identify with this "right way" and you resist change when you are exposed to a different opinion or practice. I especially face this issue with people who just graduated, since self-taught people are usually more anxious about having holes in their training and are more humble as a result, but it can still happen. I am not sure I understand what you meant about hiring. I totally agree with you and it was certainly not my intention to be insulting. I apologise. You got triggered by "a normal person" and I now understand how it could have been misinterpreted. I guess I should have said "pragmatic" or something. By the way if you have suggestions for improving my original comment, I will consider them.
