I'm glad that type annotations got added to #Python -- not only because they improve the language, but also because otherwise by now there'd be some semi-compatible "Typethon" dialect and all the attendant ecosystem hassles.
I build web applications on open source foundations. I co-wrote one of the first books on Django. Way back in the '90s, I did graphic design for newspapers and magazines. Then I wrote tech commentary and reviews for Wired, Salon, Chicago Tribune, and places you never heard of. Today I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Phone.com.
