Since the code I'm working on is resume fodder (i.e., "Yes, I code in 
Python! Check out my chess engine code on GitHub!"), I want it to be as 
Pythonic and PEP8-compliant as possible. That includes scoring 10/10 
with pylint. Never know when an asshat hiring manager would reject my 
resume out of hand because my code fell short with pylint.

For my purposes, I'm using the list comprehension over filter to keep 
pylint happy.

Thank you,

Remember that it's not only the company checking you out but also you
checking the company out.

Would you want to work for an asshat hiring manager?

Of course, you might not have the luxury of being picky.

Most asshat managers I've dealt with often say to me, "Here's a mole 
hole, go fix it." I look at the mole hole (little problem), look at the 
mountain (big problem) in the distant, and jump over the mole hole to 
start climbing the mountain. After I reduce the mountain to a mole hole, 
the asshat manager gets promoted and I'm looking for a job again.

Thank you,

Chris R.
