Episode notes

20 to 30 percent of python three code bases are using type hints well wonder how they measured that did they just scan all of github yeah that's what it looks likeYeah they did a quick sent not all of but like a random sampling so you mentioned pycharm. Let me ask you the the big subjective question what's the best IDE for python and you're extremely biased now that you're with Microsoft is it pycharm vs code vim or emax historically i actually started out with using Vim but when it was still called vi for a very long time i think from the early 80s to i'd say two years ago i was emax user nice between i'd say 2013
