Isn't self not actually a keyword? Like you can name the first variable in a class method anything and it will behave like self.

You could use "this" instead of "self". And if you want a lynch mob of Python programmers outside your house, make a push request with that to some commonly used package.

I think there will be a lynch mob of git users outside your house for calling PR as "push request".

I've been wondering about the noise.

Edit: turns out, they weren't there to lynch me. They just gave me a two hour lecture on proper usage of git.

TECHNICALLY, there is no such thing as a pull request in git. That's a Github convention. It's really a merge request

e: drat someone already out-pedantic'd me

only github users. git itself doesn't have PRs, and other forges call them different things. gitlab calls them merge requests, pico calls them patch requests...

You could even choose the name this.
