This may not
be true with badly written or maintained systems, which is why
many people shudder at the thought of refactoring their code base.
In such houses the thinking is, if it works, leave it alone, an attitude
that is the exact opposite of the refactor.
Actually, the book is
d. Refactoring without having test cases is a strong test for bravery.
Usually I classify myself as timid in such situations and either write some
tests or back off.
Absolutely. I'd put myself into the same category.

many bitter experiences - security is a nightmare for php apps. Take a
look at the number of security updates wordpress has per *month* - more
than django has had in 6 *years*.
That is based on strong correlation between PHP applications and poor
engineering.

When reviewing a resume, we simply ignore the years of experience. It
matters little, since what we care about is capability, and there are
other indicators of that (like an active github account to name one).
Our interview process involves writing code; perhaps not as much as
we'd like, but
If you're doing this repeatedly, you may want to just delegate to a
native XPath implementation. I haven't done much Python, so I can't
comment on your choices, but in Ruby I'd simply hand off to libXML
using Nokogiri. This approach should be a whole lot faster, but I'd
advise benchmarking first

You may want to consider using make or rake FWIW - medium to long

The only suggestion I have, then, is that we be stricter about the
right tagging.
I prefer job posts by engineers for engineers (because these are
generally well written, informative and correctly tagged), and a
significant upswing in untagged recruiter posts prompted my suggestion
to Noufal.
This is sad news. My condolences to Kenneth's family and loved ones.
