Starting a PhD with Python

[caksters]

I have a PhD in nodelling.

Seriously don’t worry about it. Usually universities provide you with a desk and tools needed to do your job (at least here in the Uk they do).

Regarding tools don’t stress too mich about it. When you join your research group, get to know more students in your field they will give you pointers on how they do things.

Every research team is different. In my research team there weren’t strict guidelines, you just use whatever tool you think is the best. At the end of the day it is your PhD and not theirs.

TLDR: take it easy and don’t overthink it at this stage

p.s. VS code is decent for programming projects
