    Darn. This PR was just merged into PEP-8 ... I prefer to name things that behave like data in camelCase and things that are callable in slug_case. Now I am in open violation of PEP-8 :). I hope I won't be fined.

    This is a good read: ~"Oh, and before you bring out the pitchforks: Python gets ~5 remote code execution vulnerabilities/year. That’s just the discovered ones that got a CVE! How many were silently fixed or still lurk in the depths of Python runtime? Only the bad guys know."

    If a machine can do the work a person does not want to do, then a machine should do that work. We as humans should be free to do the work that's most important to us—paid or unpaid—and no other policy enables that except for an Unconditional Basic Income.
