I think Python will remain popular for us shell scripters. i.e. writing for Ansible, replacing bash etc. As much as I like to figure out new ways of accomplishing a task I still prefer a mature language that can get my tasks accomplished quickly.](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-is-python-degrading/5f85b91400106b423de1800a/comment/5f85f28976870f43aa09ce9a) Comment · Article · Oct 13, 2020 · [How is Python degrading?](https://hashnode.com/posts/how-is-python-degrading/5f85b91400106b423de1800a) [Edidiong Asikpo I will be more than happy to consult.

Pre DevOps we use to work in silos that suffered from communication problems between the developers and the sysadmins that postponed the release of the product. I've worked for companies that had the developers on one floor and the operations on another. Since the merger of DevOps (tearing down he silos so to say) by moving us all into an open environment allowed for better communication and more efficient turnaround time from feedback loops. High velocity is a 24/7 monitoring and maintenance of networks in shifts to keep the product available worldwide. I have a quick rundown of DevOps if you are not familiar with it (46 minute read) https://spohnz.com/cliff-notes-of-the-devops-handbook-cke24biqj0069abs19yupb1ao So you can understand how your casual approach to development does not apply to a global scale company.

We use pre-commit to do things like remove whitespacing at the end of our DocBook lines, verify tagging, checks spelling and a lot more like berify our book builds.
