It’s really not a generational thing. Every generation has their nerds and they always are just a tiny minority.

The late Gen X/early millennials may have been an outlier because they were forced to learn to get anything working but also from those years most don’t care about tech.

Netflix comes around, other streaming services

The (admittedly inevitable) appearance of other streaming services was shit already since with it came exclusive content.

Basically lower and upper end of sizes, yes. Team sizes too.

Worked with both, both worked fine.

Also, they just translate estimated number of downloads to potentially sold tickets 1:1 (they always have). As if a pirate would actually watch all that shit if they had to pay for it. Many probably even don’t after download (like Steam games on sale).

No, I’m not going to follow your logical retreat any longer. You said

it’s [Python] just unusable for anything other than research project and small time scripting

You were presented with not small but big time scripting and two of the largest and most popular modern web platforms of the world (BTW I neither use nor like those myself but that’s, as mentioned, irrelevant) and still cannot admit you’re wrong, so I don’t think you would even if I dug out some examples in “serious” fields (apparently building trillion dollar companies on such platforms isn’t serious enough).

Also never assume generations. According to social media demographics, odds are I’m older than you.

I’m sorry, apparently I missed that because of your dismissal of YouTube.

To make up for it I have another small scripting example for you: the Instagram backend runs on Python, too.

That distinction is not relevant at all in this discussion.

But hey, I think that’s one I know: should count as a strawman.

With how shit youtube is I am not sure you made a great case for python mate.

I’m not good with names about logical fallacies but that sure is one. You asked for “actual projects” and YouTube is one of the biggest and most popular platforms out there. That you personally dislike it is irrelevant.

ETL tools can execute python as part of a multi step process and then yeah they use python in their data pipeline, but the ETL tool that orchestrates it is which is the actual value add software is not written in Python it’s written in Java

So what’s your point, that interpreted languages don’t count because they’re interpreted? Why stop there? It’s the actual C compiler that was used to compile the JRE that brings the value here, so your ETL tool doesn’t count.

You’re either a troll or a joke.
