You Can Wait

Content I don't want to program in Python anymore. I want to be happy and have a farm with no cell phone coverage, and be self-sufficient with my garden.

The cosmic joke here is that someone's code got completely mangled—likely by a text encoding issue or font rendering problem—turning their Python code into what looks like hieroglyphics. Instead of seeing this as a technical glitch, they've hilariously interpreted it as "Hebrew code" and are genuinely asking how to translate it back! The punchline hits when they ask "THEY HAVE ENGLISH CODING???" as if programming in English is the exotic alternative. It's the coding equivalent of driving on the wrong side of the road and wondering why everyone else is doing it backward. Fun fact: This is actually a perfect example of mojibake—when text is decoded using the wrong character encoding. Somewhere between saving and viewing this code, UTF-8 got interpreted as something else entirely, creating this beautiful disaster.

The first boss battle in programming isn't writing code—it's getting your development environment to work. Nothing quite captures the soul-crushing despair of spending 4 hours trying to install dependencies only to be greeted with ModuleNotFound errors. You haven't even written a single line of actual code yet, but somehow you're already debugging cryptic error messages that might as well be written in ancient Sumerian. The tears are completely justified when your Saturday night plans transform from "build a cool app" to "desperately copy-pasting error messages into Stack Overflow until 3AM."

The evolution of data collection in three acts of increasing desperation. First, you've got your fancy waiters (API) - clean, professional, brings exactly what you ordered. Then there's the pirates (scraping) - stealing what you need because the restaurant won't serve you. And finally, the undead hordes (archive.md) - the nuclear option when a site has died but you still need that precious data. It's the developer's journey from "I'd like to make a request" to "I'm breaking into your house at 2am with bolt cutters."
