print - lets you output numbers and characters to the console.

if - let's you choose which statements are executed if an expression is true
else - denotes the statements that execute if the expression isn't true
elif - let's you combine if statements
while - is a way of repeating statements in a loop until an expression is false.
break - is a way to jump out of the statement flow of a loop.
continue - let's you skip a cycle of the flow without ending it.
for - is used to iterate over items of a collection in the order they appear in a container

Symbolic Link

Use this when you don't want the actual program in a folder in your $PATH.

1. Move folder to /usr/lib/ (optional)

    sudo mv program_directory /usr/lib
   

2. Create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin/

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/program_directory/program /usr/local/bin/program

Programmer emphasizes the coding aspect of the job.

Software developer can be seen to encompass other aspects of the software creation process, such as software design, architecture, design, testing, documentation, deployment, and maintenance.

Engineer has some regional variations. In some places it implies an accredited or licensed professional. In other places (including Silicon Valley) it does not. However engineer also encompasses other technical roles in the organization such as systems administrator, network administrator, database administrator, and so forth.

Hacker adds a facet of pragmatism. A hacker, it is implied, gets things done with limited resources and leverages other work to "hack" together a working, valuable solution.

Code-monkey is insulting but is most often used in a self-deprecating way to indicate a programmer who is expected simply to write code without thinking about the larger picture (such as the code architecture or the business needs).

Most (or all) of these methods make use of ANSI escape sequences.

Straight-up

For example, using a dictionary:

ansi = {'underline': '\033[4m', 'bold': '\033[1m', 'end':'\033[0m'}
print '{[bold]}Hello World{[end]}'.format(ansi, ansi)

Playing around with slightly various ways to simulate uniq in Python.
The different strategies are timed.
Only m1() and m2() do not change the order of the data.
`in` is the input file, `out*` are output files.
