Workaround: Potato peeler extends peeler, so just cast your carrots as potatoes before you peel them, and then cast them back to carrot afterwards

No no it’s the pot that’s behind . After you already peeled and chopped .

Unless this is an agile thing

only hobbyists and artisans still use the standalone carrot.py that depends on peeler.

in enterprise environments everyone uses the pymixedveggies package (created using pip freeze of course) which helpfully vendors the latest peeled carrot along with many other things. just unpack it into a clean container and go on your way.

Just fork peeler from 4.3, rename it to “Skininator 4000” and set up a BuyMeACoffee button.

Why would you peel a carrot?

I’m a sysadmin by trade. My hobbies are:

• cooking with nothing but a cast iron pan and a knife I forged after a medieval design
• tinkering on bicycles ('90s MTBs, the golden age of component compatibility)
• sewing clothes by hand
• smashing printers with baseball bats

Yeah, I can totally sign that. But it is struggle to have so many peelers in drawer. Last addition was new potatoe peeler

Then you chop the potato into fries and stick it in a bowl of water seasoned with Mrs Dash. Once they’re marinated, you realize that the Mrs Dash you used is also outdated, and the current Mrs Dash’s spices conflict with the current seasoning. You have to figure out a way to suck the seasoning out of the current fries or start fresh. To start fresh would delay the meal considerably and your customers are extremely hungry and entitled. You would also need to report the extra expenditure on a new potato and wasted time to your boss, who is going to be upset about it.

You decide to search the Internet and found that some guy that was in the same situation 3 years ago in another restaurant figured out a way to make the current fries taste right using white pepper as long as you apply it in a specific manner that you’ve never heard of using tools you don’t have. You only have black pepper, but give it a shot anyway. It didn’t work right and now they taste even worse. You ask on a forum online by detailing every step you took with precision, and the users respond with “read the f**king recipe”. In desperation, you ask ChatGPT for advice, which tells you to season your <vegetable> with white pepper and taste the fries. If that doesn’t work, write down everything and look for places you made mistakes. Miraculously, you find some white peppercorns, but don’t have a grinder. You try smashing them with a hammer, making it worse.

You give up and tell everyone that they have to eat rice today. You go home feeling smarter because you learned how to not mess this one specific thing up until the next update and what would work to fix it in the future if you have the specific items and know how to use them (you don’t). You then go to a social gathering at a restaurant with friends. One of them doesn’t like the food and asks you why they don’t just make it taste good. You tell them that if they want it to taste a certain way, they can cook it themselves. The group gets mad at you and you hear someone whisper in another’s ear, “I think they’re on the spectrum.”

So funny story. My stove is currently inoperable because the door lock on the oven is fucked up somehow. Why an oven needs a door lock and why the door lock being fucked should prevent the whole thing from working I cannot tell you. I’ve literally never used it. Thanks whoever programmed that…

4.3 ??? Hell, I haven’t updated my peeler since 2.1 - no wonder my stove won’t even boot.

People make fun of me for preferring C above any other language, but I think I’m the one having the last laugh.

I really enjoy programming, but generally I dislike cooking. I just want to eat, not spend time preparing to eat.

My experience with cooking has been that because I don’t do it enough, I’m constantly dealing with food expiration dates and having to plan carefully around them.

In comparison, I’ve got some servers that have been running maintenance free for 5+ years. (Probably not the most secure thing, but meh, I don’t have customers other than myself)

I think programmers often have hobbies that are more physical though. For me, I like working on my car because turning bolts and working with my hands lets my brain turn off for a while. I could see cooking and following a recipe being in the same category for others.

I got into cooking during lockdown, and have managed to get surprisingly good at it, to the point where if you asked me to make a meal of your choosing I could probably make it without looking up a recipe. It’s actually unbelievably simple to make even complex stuff, basically using all the same rules you apply at work:

• Use the right tools for the job
• Plan it out first, do your prep and the actual work is simple
• A simple dish will take much longer than you think
• RTFM. Many sauces and dishes from classic cooking are basically a mixture of a small handful of base ingredients/techniques, and they’ve been written down for decades.
• Once you have the basics down, you can basically make it up as you go. You’ll make amazing meals, and you’ll never be able to replicate it again because you eyeballed it or cooked it in a way that made sense at the time. You say you’ll document it well, but deep down, you know you won’t.
• Nothing is original, everything is stolen. Adapt recipes you see, look at ingredients of sauces and sachets you buy/use, etc.
• You can be a solid hobbyist, but against a pro that does this shit all day every day, you don’t know a fucking thing. You’re also probably not going to replicate what they can do in a professional setting while at home unless you’ve got money.

You should really try cobol, lisp, ada, or erlang. Dead languages are the best
