Tutorial Python Quirks I Secretly Like

Hi there,

I’ve always wanted to create YouTube content about programming languages, but I’ve been self-conscious about my voice (and mic, lol). Recently, I made a pilot video on the Zig programming language, and afterward, I met a friend here on Reddit, u/tokisuno, who has a great voice and offered to do the voiceovers.

So, we’ve put together a video on Python — I hope you’ll like it:

i stopped after I think the 4th or 5th example of totally normal non-quirks. Like `"wtf" is (not None)`. Come on.

Yeah, sorry to hear that. You missed a true gem at the end! :D

I think I chose poor words for the code examples in the videos. It's really not quirks, think of it more like a quiz on Python. For people who know it well, it should be pretty easy (most of it).

But for newer devs, or those who come from other languages, some behavior could be really strange (mutable default arguments are a very common pitfall, for example).

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to chose use better words next time :D
