"Python's type system is like a traffic light in Grand Theft Auto: technically there, but nobody's stopping." - Anonymous developer at 3 AM"

As a Pythonista (who never got into Ruby in the first place), I love the wry humor of this... :-)

Though one recommendation: I'd start everyone with `uv` now, for Python env, instead of `pyenv` etc...

And the advice looks pretty decent at first glance too.
