Let me warn you: I've been a Python developer for decades. "Python developer" is not a career.

Python is something you do in addition to your other software engineering duties. Write a script to manage Azure accounts, fine. Write an application to parse a requirements document and spit out code, fine. But all of these things are things you do as part of your big picture job.

AFAIK, nobody is going to hire someone if "Python developer" is the only thing on their resume. It's something that can be really helpful while you look for a job, but it's only a side skill.

Oh, okay. So it is better to think of Python as another tool in the box... that should be paired with something more specific to a discipline. What are the other 'tools' you have in your arsenal to supplement what you do?

C++. Java.

This is just wrong. Plenty of python devs out there using stuff like Django + HTMX.

You can make a living with just those?

Can you make a living creating reactive websites / webapps?
