> Every moment working with python (and that infernal pep-8 linter insisting 80 characters is a sensible standard in 2019) increases my burnout by 100x.

You hyper-fixated on that tiny thing. It increases your burnout 100x, remember?

Python increases my burnout. The linter is a relatively small part of it.

It's the only problem you mentioned, and I inferred from your post that it was really bothering you. That was my thinking anyway.

I see now that you mentioned other issues in other comments.

Anyway I appreciate you sharing your feelings to an evidently unreceptive audience. It's nice to know there are better ecosystems out there waiting when I get a chance to look for my own next step.
