"Other developers are just like us - weird"

"If you ever need to deploy Django, you're good. If you know Capistrano and Unicorn they've got rip-offs of all that stuff."

"I think we should all admit we're horrible coders and move on" "We're all drug addicts - we're fighting methods..."

"It's easy to learn to play the guitar and be able to play Bob Dylan and Weezer and never get better."

"This is basically a talk that was given 30 years ago. We just have to keep giving it every few years because young guys come along and forget it."

Sometimes you're trying to find the value of a constant - but you don't know what it is. And maybe it's in a framework. Maybe you've run ripgrep (rg) or the silversearcher (ag) and found hits on those framework binaries when looking for that variable name.

I've done lookups before via ctypes: https://gist.github.com/pudquick/8f65bb9b306f91eafdcc

And via pyobjc: https://gist.github.com/pudquick/ac8f22326f095ed2690e

And now I have another way that's somewhere inbetween:
