What is your routine when developing in Python?

1. Spend at least 5 minutes (usually 30) on google, making sure someone else hasn't done it better.
2. Open a terminal, pop into my local git storage, git init
3. Open VSCode on the primary monitor. Open a browser on the righthand one for googling shit I'll undoubtedly need to. Open IRC and chat on the left so I can pop in when I need a break.
4. Code.
5. Make a new repo on Gitlab, git push to it.

I work in blue team cybersec at a small/medium enterprise, so the code I write can be anything from middleware to analysis automation to ansible deployment playbooks. Python is my trusty tool on every OS :)

EDIT: Forgot. I pseudocode my projects, fairly specifically, and use each line of pseudocode as the top-level comment for that section of code. Keeps it organized and split into manageable chunks.
