I really enjoyed https://woebot.io/ for a few months. I was really surprised at its depth when I kept on discovering new flows after weeks of interacting with it daily. But that kind of chatbot is surely an exception. And A

Strongly agree with author. I really like Python and at one point thought that it makes sense to write almost any project in it, since it's so versatile and I know it pretty well. After working on a quite large application and having t
