Guido van Rossum

Maybe sort of keep a plan B in the back of your mind, but don't, don't overthink it.

Don't, don't try to sort of don't,

Don't create a spreadsheet where you're trying to estimate, well, if I learn this language, I expect to make X million dollars in a lifetime.

And if I learn that language, I expect to make Y million dollars in a lifetime.

And which is higher and which has more risk and where is the chance that... It's like picking a stock.

But can you create that spreadsheet?

Because that's sort of, you're mentioning a whole bunch of inputs that go into that spreadsheet where you have to estimate things that are very hard to measure and even harder.

I mean, they're hard to measure retroactively and they're even harder to predict.

Like, what is the better community?

Well, better is one of those things

incredibly difficult words.

What's better for you is not better for someone else.

But do you think that you can make objective choices there?

Oh, everything is very subjective.

And yes, you most certainly can have a gut feeling and your gut can also be wrong.

That's why there are billions of people because they're not all right.

I mean, clearly there are more people living in the Bay Area who have plans to

sort of create a Google-sized company, then there's room in the world for Google-sized companies.

And they're going to have to duke it out in the market space.

We tend to say 3.11 because it really was like we went 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and we're planning to go up to 3.99.
