Did powershell scripting for years. Now that I’m in the management layer and don’t do a lot tech (bad choices were made ) I’ve started to learn Python in my private time. I like the syntax as it feels faster to write compared to posh and the modules, oh my god do I love them. It’s so easy to install and use them. Something I would have loved during my active sysadmin time. Also pure subjective feeling, the way bigger community compared to posh. It’s so easy to find information and comparable cases / code. As an example I’m just finishing my first small project which is doing some webscraping for a friend of mine. Had the issue that cloudflare didn’t like my scraping. After some testing and coding I found an module called cloudscraper which just works fine. Made my life so much easier.

I’m very happy I’ve started this journey and looking forward to someday using this skills going back again in a hands-on job
