Last week, French automaker Renault released a sneak preview of a hydrogen-powered car. We don’t know that much about the car yet.

More news will come in May, but we have no real way of knowing if the concept car will even make it to market.  Renault’s teaser pic for their hydrogen car.

If all I know is that I don’t know anything, that means I actually know loads. Let me illustrate.

And they’re not wrong — but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t confuse the shit out of programming newbies anyway. Take dynamic typing as an example. It seems amazing at first: Python literally figures out by itself what sort of value a variable might take, and you don’t need to waste another line of code by telling it. This makes everything go faster! At first. Then you mess it up on one single line — yes, one! — and your…
