That code is bad for several reasons including not catching+handling exceptions (and possibly retrying), and accessing the JSON properties w/o get()
The overhead of re-installing stuff and setting up a header seem very unnecessary to run a simple script
If this is about sending some Python for somebody else to run easily - the recipient should always check the code. You should never run arbitrary code. For example, there have been hacks performed using YAML loader (crypto exchange).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Django is not a web server. It's a framework used in conjunction with an app server e.g. gunicorn and a web server e.g. nginx
Did you read the article and comments? The comments point out a lot of issues with the article. Sadly, I've seen this article referenced before on other discussions.
I disagree on the 'lying about the Apollo dev'. The Apollo dev definitely said 'I can make it real easy for you', 'Apollo can quiet down' 'you cut me a check for $10m' then he tried to backtrack when pushed on clarification for a 3rd time. Yes - there was an apology by the Reddit rep as far as misinterpreting but he did say what he was accused of saying.
Spinning it to the dev saying he was referring to Apollo as a "noisy API user" was really suspect, imo. I've never heard a heavy API user being called "noisy" and why even mention a number for a buy out multiple times? The "mostly joking" was a cop out as well. Is it a joke or not? Because when he was asked for clarification, he clarified $10m and 6 months again.
I really do not read the Apollo dev anywhere close to what you do. I read it has him writing that to make a point, not that it was actually a serious offer. I have no idea why you would think anything like that would be a serious offer. Or why a serious offer would be made in public like that.
Forums still rule for discourse content for some subjects. Some of them are basically grand-fathered in because Google will surface them and their communities started before Reddit. Guitar gear is one of those. There are still half a dozen forums that provide way better discourse than Reddit. I imagine a big part of that is because the users are an older age group.
