I hear a lot of people on my side of the fence (business/product/strategy) say ‘I bridge the gap between the business guys and the technical guys.’

My opinion is that if you cant prototype features (in real code) AND do some good bottom up/top down market analysis, you ain’t bridging nothing, you’re in the way.

Python

Here is a common question in python:  How to turn a string into a date object:

import datetime

datestring = "2011-04-20"

date_format = "%Y-%m-%d"

newdate = datetime.datetime.strptime(datestring, date_format)

As a bonus, the reverse

datestring = str(newdate)
