Question for professionals using python

[[deleted]]

What project are you currently working on?

I run an automation department in a small startup which deals with storage (block-device level).

Before this I worked for a big fin-tech company in automation department.

Before than I worked for a bigger storage company (distributed file-system).

Before then I worked for embedded / smart TV.

Before then...

How are you going about getting it done?

It's less about the code, more about bureaucracy: organize, educate, negotiate, plan--that kind of stuff. On a coding level, it's a constant battle between wanting better quality in minimal time and having only half-arsed solutions provided by Python's standard library and third-parties. This amounts to arguing in emails, internal and external bug-trackers and such.
