> If a company says that they need excellent Python skills, and they mean it, then I’m not the right person for that job. Eh, let the company decide that. That's one of the biggest things I tell my buddy who thinks he's bad at programming and really doesn't want to have to look for a job. He's convinced he's horrible but I don't think he is. He just doesn't want to get rejected, so he just avoids interviews as much as possible and tries to stay at the company he's at. I would imagine that most companies are okay with python code that is rough and ready as long as it can be integrated by the rest of the team into the production code. Most data programmers are probably expected to be better at the data than the programming.
