[[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Smith_(author) | Andrew Smith 1961 ]] may be a nice guy in person, but after 60 pages of snarky ranting about software and some of the people who write it, I gave up.  I have other things to read.

The non-programmer British journalist decides to learn Python, and goes to [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_Conference | Pycon ]], where he critiques most and finds a few to praise.  What purpose does this serve?

Life is short, and I can find more value in other, shorter, ''nicer'' books.
