It’s a brief mention like it is something you will never need. By now I am sure you have realised you do need it. Let me take you on a journey so that you can start to experience real time-freedom the python way.
Getting started right away…
A little bit of organisation goes a long way. I would like to share with you some organisational practices I have evolved that in my experience make it quicker to move from a python/boto3 prototype to a production automation tool.
