18 years after goto for Python was published *as a joke*, @edurekaIN are "educating" readers that Python programmers should actually include goto. https://t.co/xrVQV70OFJ "programmers across the world took it seriously and started using it" Hint, never, *ever* use goto anywhere.

[James Geddes @JamesGeddes]

@edurekaIN Why does https://t.co/xrVQV70OFJ "educate" readers that an April fools joke should be considered appropriate for real life? https://t.co/vcFe6qbQBm Goto should never be used in real programs!

@NatWest_Help Can you offer 2FA that is more secure than just SMS, please? Perhaps using the NatWest app? https://t.co/KBExOGputq

@JonthanFielding @NatWest_Help @monzo @StarlingBank Why do you care your card looks like? Personally, my priority is the financial benefit a bank provides. In an NFC world, who even uses their bank card any more?

@Scribit_Design two questions: 1) when will Scribit be available on Amazon? 2) are you able to offer any charitable discounts? Thanks

Dear every #YouTuber ever, "Only 2.9% of my viewers subscribe to my channel" is not a reason for me to subscribe to your channel. Please just make good videos. ty muchly.

[James Geddes @JamesGeddes]

@JonthanFielding Love https://t.co/CyrxEQW0Qf! Do you have an API that we can use in our CI/CD pipeline? I am adding the JSON budget at the moment, but it would be good to tell devs "This will take ~10 mins to load on a 2G connection" too

[James Geddes @JamesGeddes]

@NicolasVuillamy Will do! Seems like a very sensible project, not sure why anyone would want to avoid automating something like this! Thanks muchley 😆
