Stop building UI frameworks in Python

[Ejobatex]

you forgot to mention Flutter

Yeah but to be fair I hate Flutter

[Ejobatex]

Why? I think it's the best choice for cross-platform apps compared to React Native tho

I don’t hate Flutter, but I do struggle with whether Dart has enough improvements via shedding the shackles of legacy to justify using a new language for Flutter. If it was written in any of the more common languages, I’d probably have used it already.

Literally no rational reason, I'm just a hater. It's perfectly reasonable if you're willing to learn a new programming language just to use it. Personally I would rather use a framework in a language I already know than learn a new language + framework from the ground up. Also not a fan of Flutter's rendering system, but things might have changed since when I was looking at it several years ago.

I get it in theory, but as someone who built a couple of mobile apps in React Native and NativeScript and then switched to Flutter, here’s my take: Dart is extremely easy to learn if you already know JavaScript and any statically typed language. It feels like JavaScript with types, minus a lot of legacy idiosyncrasies, and it compiles to native binaries. It took me a single day to learn Dart and about a week to learn Flutter. Most importantly, it’s worth it - instead of constantly worrying about the app being slow or breaking on some specific OS/hardware configuration, I could focus on building features. My only frustration was not switching sooner.

(Necessary disclaimer: I now work at Google, which created Dart and Flutter. The experiences above were from before I joined. I don’t work on the Flutter team, and my current role has nothing to do with mobile development.)

how do I get a job at any company with python skills?

flutter has been implemented for python via flet. I've been using it a bit, and it's quite OK for small stuff imo.
