When PCs or laptops based on the Intel microprocessor run a Microsoft Windows operating system, we generically refer to such architectures as Wintel. People who work in such environments by supporting users and resolving their issues are Wintel Engineers. These engineers configure and install all server hardware, including the Windows OS and products procured from third-parties, onto the systems. They build, configure, assess, and recommend hardware and software. They should possess above average analytical and fixing skills. Engineers own and run an issue with minimal intervention from others ensuring all relevant parties are informed on time. More info : https://www.fieldengineer.com/skills/wintel-engineer

Re: PEP 612: Parameter Specification Variables
by Andrew Svetlov 04 Jan '20

I personally prefer shorter to type names, so ArgsSpec looks better in my eyes. Concatenate and ListVariadic seems satisfactory for positional arguments. You know, Python supports positional-only, keyword-only, *args and **kwargs also. Could ArgsSpec (or ParameterSpecifications) be extended to explicitly provide these kinds of parameters explicitly? Another thing is the default argument. The exact value of the default is not significant for typing but a flag of the default value presence is important. Can ArgsSpec provide this information? -- Thanks, Andrew Svetlov
