Don’t you mean:

  • Python, Ruby, Java or equivalent language experience.
    ^^^^
    yeah!

Instead of:

  • Python, Ruby, Java or equivalent language experience.
    ^^^^
    yeah!

Well, it came out looking like:
Java
^^^^
yeah!

On my screen, and I’m sure that’s not what you meant (you had a tab in
there somewhere).

One of those nastly little indentation bugs that can really bite you

BTW: there’s a posting for a Ruby programmer on Rubygarden

You mean if I were doing more programming in Python I wouldn’t have made this
bug? May be, but I happily trade fewer bugs in code for some bugs in E-mails, so
I won’t switch :slight_smile:

Thanks for the hint.
