Welcome to the December issue of <strong>Hacker</strong> <strong>Bits</strong>!<br />
If you’re looking for some positivity after a grueling<br />
election season, then you’ve come to the right place.<br />
Brian Gilham recounts a delightful anecdote about<br />
the importance of being kind, and we think it’s just<br />
what everyone needs.<br />
As always, our team of experts is here to offer their<br />
insights on how to become a better programmer.<br />
In this issue…<br />
Bill Cruise a.k.a. Bill the Lizard, gives us the lowdown<br />
on books programmers read, and ones that they<br />
claim to have read.<br />
It’s easy to feel old in an industry populated with<br />
wide-eyed twenty-somethings, but take heart and<br />
read what veteran software engineer Ben Northrop<br />
has to say about being an “old” programmer.<br />
And lastly…<br />
For y’all Python enthusiasts out there, Tim Abbott<br />
gives us an in depth report on the state of static<br />
types in Python.<br />
Enjoy, and we’ll see y’all back here next month.<br />
