  • Kinda wish I had social media right now so I could tell DevilsPanties to go fuck themselves.

    CEOs are demanding that programmers use AI, and measuring how much they use it. If they don’t use it enough, they’re in the next round of layoffs. Vibe coders are people who don’t know how to code, and probably aren’t working for a corp.

    Seriously, attacking the workers? Motherfuckers.





  • TLDR: 3.11 is twice as fast as 3.10 at doing global name lookups, so an old speedup hack of aliasing a global function locally isn’t needed.

    For example, when calling len() in a loop, going l=len, and calling l() in the loop was faster in 3.10. In 3.11, moreso in 3.13, it’s almost a wash.

    However, the author says this:

    Accessing functions through a module [e.g. math.sin()] or a deep attribute chain can still carry overhead. Creating a local alias or using “from module import name” continues to be effective in those situations.

    But when I look at the numbers, I would say 3.13 is pretty close to making it an unnecessary optimization in general. A little subjective on how you interpret the numbers.

    Great info, but this was like trying to use a recipe and reading the author’s life story to get there.
