      OpenHatchy but not OpenHatch things around the web

Gershom Bazerman Letter to a Young Haskell Enthusiast
<http://comonad.com/reader/2014/letter-to-a-young-haskell-enthusiast/>:

    The most important thing, though not hardest, about teaching and
    spreading knowledge is to emphasize that this is for *everyone*.
    Nobody is too young, too inexperienced, too old, too set in their
    ways, too excitable, insufficiently mathematical, etc. Believe in
    everyone, attack nobody, even the trolliest. … The hardest thing,
    and the second most important, is to put aside your pride. If you
    want to teach people, you have to empathize with how they think, and
    also with how they feel.

Allison Kaptur on Getting Started With Python Internals
<https://akaptur.github.io/blog/2014/08/03/getting-started-with-python-internals/>,
called “a textbook example of how to encourage people to dive into
something exciting/scary” by
