So I was a sysadmin scripter(powershell/cmd/bash) then network admin, then infosec. Ive really blown up using python for all kinds of things last few years. I've built a whole honeypot -> threatfeed project. More recently I built a solarwinds ncm replacement(solarwinds got pwned) almost entirely in python. Long story short, it downloads config backups of network devices and then can programmatically report on security hardening guide rules. I work alone so my extent of 'culture' has been pycharm warnings. I imagine if another programmer saw my code they'd vomit so violently they'd have to buy new electronics. I try to do the right thing, but PEP 8: E501 line too long (125 > 120 characters) I'm not really caring too much about being 5 characters too long. I tend to comment my code well but there's certainly areas where there's nothing because the comments wont help much. Yet what ego do I have to get in the way? I know I'm not a programmer, I know there's tons of room for improvement. Its just... I don't know what I don't know. I feel this article speaks to me but I don't really have a mentor :( Edit/ just ran pylint against one of my projects. It fell over laughing.
