   My estimate of what you need to nail your first py job:

   Be comfortable with dev environment tooling, common dev process, testing, write docs, good commit messages

   Be advanced enough to grok all language constructs, including things like decorators and context managers

   Read, understand, and improve python code in the wild

   Learn mypy? It really improves your code

   Land some open source patches to demonstrate you got all this

   Good luck, it's not as big a hill as it looks from the bottom!

     @jamesvasile If you have all this when we're looking for people you're basically an instant hire. It's hard to find programmers in HK.
