Refusing to read (in spite of my genuine interest) based on the click-baity title.


As I'm writing this, the title is "Top Python libraries of 2020 you should know about". Sure, it sounds a bit click-baity, but what's a better way of writing that title? The only way to remove the clickbait element is to literally list all or several of the libraries, which would make for a terrible title.


The text is written in the same clickbaity style. But the libraries look pretty interesting.


To be fair, other than the title, I don’t think it’s written in a clickbait style.

I’m not bombarded with ads and they aren’t doing the thing where you get one page per list item. And several people have found certain libraries useful.


I second this. The libraries were actualy pretty interesting


Then you should also refuse to comment.


I'm really happy to see a service like this and I wish you the best of successes. BUT :) If you're going to call yourself the "Stripe of X", please work on reaching the bar they've set for documentation.


Thank you so much! Appreciate it.

Also, we agree - we have a lot to do before earn it (but also a fair comparison would be to Stripe's docs when they were new as opposed to today).


All four of mine sit on a box of wires and parts, waiting to be used. Have for some time now.


It's not ridiculous. Amazon retail operates on very thin margins. AWS does +$7B a quarter, $25.7B for 2018.

Did you check your own source?

Because I was using quarterly for both numbers, and their net sales of merchandise was over $200B (global) in 2018, meaning their net sales were almost 10X higher on products than AWS. Since it's a 10:1 margin, I continue to claim that it's ridiculous to think that AWS > selling physical products in terms of revenue.

In terms of income, however, it's not, they make a lot more on services than physical goods (as everyone not named Apple does)
