I worked in ops for several years but never really got passed simple scripts in various languages. Then out of pure frustration with the lack of tools to do my job I decided to dig deeper into Python.
I started off with a project to track Application Outages using Django. It took me three months and a lot of reading but the application is still in use after 3 years with very little maintenance. I have then gone on to use Django and Flask for various one off web apps. Pandas for data analysis and a lot of third-party packages.
During that time I have looked at Javascript(Node stuff), Ruby and Go. Python keeps winning because my brain can understand it and I get things done the fastest in it. You need to find what works for you there will be plus and minus for it all but getting things done is where it matters.
Well done. I work in a large enterprise and have no design ability. Tired of banging bootstrap together and not quite getting the look you achieved with Flakes. Looking forward to trying this.
It provides the ability to do lots of troubleshooting in a private network.
