Stumbled into a Python meetup at a coffee shop in Denver back in 2018

I was just there to get some work done on my laptop, not expecting to learn anything. This guy next to me was showing his friend how to use list comprehensions instead of long for loops. I'd been writing these huge blocks of code for a beginner project and it all clicked watching them. He even showed me his Github repo with like 50 example files. That one random hour changed how I structure everything now. Has anyone else had a total stranger accidentally teach them something that stuck?

Yeah @the_elliot same here, I used to hate list comps too but now I can't live without them.

Used to hate Python but seeing list comps in action like that totally flipped my view lmao.

List comps were a game changer for me in 2019.
