Oh wow, not so long ago the sentiment was exactly opposite. Python community was struggling with tools and everyone wished to have `gofmt` for Python. Granted, this is a linter, no…

100% agree, I am upgrading my projects now. And yet, I have mixed feelings about this. I like to think that when I (was) writing code myself, I applied a great deal of intuition to…

Did I miss something? Aren't public key are supposed to be public? To be clear, that's an honest question, not sarcasm of anything. I only assume I don't know about some corner cas…

That's a trick question. Should we include the tokens consumed by the organizers' AI to validate the submissions? AI-generated comments in the discussion thread?
