Life is a meaningless void of gibbering chaos whose soundtrack is the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes

I'm working on code in which a particular object's startdate property can be either a DateTime or a datetime. One is not a subclass of the other. No duck typing here: one exposes the year through a year() method; the other through a year field. (This is Python, so it matters.)

It's reasonable to suppose I have fewer than 400,000 hours left in my life, and I spent one of them finding that out.

Who knew HP's source material was code?
