For the "am I crazy" moments with Cython

NB it isn't necessarily a good idea to do something like x = str(x) in Cython.

Keep things with their types associated with variables unchanged, or incomprehensible TypeErrors might keenly jump to help you get your well deserved early dementia.

Pair programming - the untold truth

It probably is the best alibi to cover for the unstoppable urge of talking to yourself while programming. Well, though - just given that - you aren't necessarily crazy :)

Having throughly studied about 1% of a very prestiguous article, I conclude

"deep, transcendental"

"could actually be a sign of high cognitive functioning"

"might reflect the reality of a genius"

Calm down, that's all we are folks, even if pair programming with an invisible rubber duck at home. Makes sense.
