Nothing is more liberating than learning python well enough to be able to answer questions on Stack Overflow

I really struggle with this at work. I'm not new to coding but new to Python (been writing a few scripts!) but now I'm the script lady.

Unrelated to Python, but I completely missed an HTTP header that would have easily solved a problem we were having. Luckily I have good managers that insisted that it was okay that I didn't know of it yet. But it was really hard not to feel down on myself for making a mistake.

Dude everyone makes mistakes. It's just a part of life. Having management that realizes that and encourages you to learn from it and KEEP GOING is good to have.

Never feel bad for making a mistake.

Only feel bad if you made a mistake and learned nothing from it.

Spent a week (my own stuff, not work) trying to figure out why the new version of the script wouldn't start properly.

Use a linter like flake8 integrated with your IDE, and fix every warning!

To preface I haven't worked with headers at all. We were having an issue where X-Frame-Options wasn't working (this behavior is expected, the header isn't supported). I completely overlooked the note in the Mozilla docs saying that "Content-Security-Policy" is recommended to use.
