  • I learned Python after I already knew C, and I will forever be grateful for that.

    I took an Operating Systems class in undergrad whose first assignment was to implement a simple web server in C, and it was fine. Later, I took the same prof’s grad-level class and had to do basically the same assignment again, and all I could think was “wow, this is incredibly tedious: this whole thing would be literally two lines of Python.” Python absolutely ruined my patience for writing C (or at least, for writing C socket code that has to manually juggle IPv4 and v6 struct addrinfos and whatnot).

    Realtors are a specific group of real estate agents. But real estate agents and real estate attorneys are entirely different things: the latter are lawyers while the former are not. Real estate agents are salespeople who search sales listings and give home tours and negotiate deals and whatnot. They have a duty to act in your interest, but they are not qualified or licensed to practice law.

    • Make sure you get a knowledgeable and thorough home inspector.

    You say that as if evaluating quality to decide which realtor to hire is any easier than evaluating quality to decide which home inspector to hire.

    • Keep you from getting the shit sued out of you for one of numerous mistakes.
    • Make sure you fully understand the giant pile of paperwork you’ll be signing.

    These two are the job of a real-estate attorney, not a realtor.
