As a scientist and a programmer, I always considered myself belonging to a group of people who are broad-minded and task-oriented. Being an occasional Python programmer, I subscribed to this list in the hopes of learning from the pros. Most of the time I do. But I also see a disturbing trend of petty bickering, splitting hairs and one-upmanship.
