Thanks for posting! The crowd can get harsh and maybe not everyone realizes that making it onto the HN front page briefly != "This is proven research and you should all listen to me right now". Blogging can be about learning and brain dumping and, IMO, you should carry on doing so.

Thanks a lot for the encouragement, it means a lot :)

It is tough to read criticism but it's always a good opportunity to learn. The comment about mypy for example was correct and I'm pretty sure I'll be trying it out on my next Python project. I've updated the blog post with minor amendments and corrections based on the feedback here.

Indeed this was my first time on HN (which took me by surprise) :)
