5 hacks for landing your tech dream job
https://opensource.com/business/16/7/5-hacks-for-landing-your-tech-dream-job

Travis' way of breaking out of nested loops
got me thinking about this bit of craziness:

    Is try/except the closest thing Python has to a goto statement?

        class CustomException(Exception): pass

        try:
            ...
            if whatever:
                raise CustomException
            ...
        except CustomException:
            ...

    It later reminded me that one of the few good uses of goto statements in C
    is to jump down to cleanup code after something bad happened.
    I.e., for error recovery, which is what try/except excels at.

    Try blocks should be as small as possible to avoid catching exceptions
    caused by other than what should really be concerned about.
    This is consistent with PEP8.

    Are custom exceptions a good technique for allowing large try blocks
    since the custom exceptions can not be caused accidentally by some other thing
    than a deliberate raise?

    One learns languages better when learning multiple languages
    at the same time, instead of learning one language at a time.

GNOME Maps Hits A Dead End, Can No Longer Display Maps

In programming, one gets a feel for bad things. Think "code smell".
One can also develop a sense of situations that promote bad software.

Apply that in other realms.
