While working on a commercial project, you typically have to write some code that isn't related directly to the core business. This code can be open sourced as a library.

That's great to hear. Thanks.

In the shared runner settings, I see this:

"GitLab Runners do not offer secure isolation between projects that they do builds for. You are TRUSTING all GitLab users who can push code to project A, B or C to run shell scripts on the machine hosting runner X."

Seems like a very strong reason to use one's own paid DigitalOcean instances for runners instead of using the free shared runners, at least for commercial projects. I was wondering if anyone from GitLab could expand further on this?

I remember taking AP Computer Science in high school and learning Pascal. Anyone else remember doing this? The AP Comp Sci exams were in Pascal until 1998.

Is there any reason why one can't be both a writer and engineer simultaneously?

I see, thanks. Makes sense.

To be fair, it was misleading that the WSJ article said "Google is changing its search algorithm Tuesday to favor sites that look good on smartphones."

By hand meaning "pip install -r {file}" or more generally pip with any arguments typed directly at the command line.

Automated meaning pip with any arguments run by another script.

What would make more sense than blindly prioritizing mobile sites is this:

1) Desktop-friendly websites appear higher in the rankings for searches made from desktop computers

2) Mobile-friendly websites appear higher in the rankings for searches made from mobile devices

I wish there was a way to tell which pip installs were done by humans vs. by automated tools. It would be interesting to track what people are doing by hand vs. what machines are doing. I suppose that may be impossible to implement, though.

These graphs are very insightful. Thanks for offering us some visibility into the Python package download picture.

This survey was taken on CodeProject.com, a site which seems biased toward C#, C++, .NET, Java, and mobile devs.

Perhaps it's just that sample of developers who skew toward INTJ, ENTJ and INTP.

I suspect that the results would be different in a survey of developers from a more open source-focused community, e.g. if GitHub conducted that survey and a lot of idealistic open source developer types responded.
