Varying sources but anything from .25% to 3% or more depending on how they get their seat I think.

Some with no vesting schedules at all.

Python community conventions are not camel case for functions...

forwardAddGate

would be

forward_add_gate

and return is not a function call...

return(max(x,y)) or return(x+y)

would be

return max(x, y) or return x + y

spaces around operators...

x + y not x+y

spaces around function args...

def foo(a, b) not def foo(a,b)

and when calling...

foo(1, 2) not foo(1,2)

Just things to think about when publishing python code for the greater community.

Wow- this is a really close fit for me as well. My resume has started to look like I used it for target practice because I've been jumping around trying to find a better fit.

~12 years of programming here for various companies large and small.

I don't have any advice for you but I would love to work with you on something (not that I would expect that to happen).

Burnout and fatigue is real. Maybe someone else will respond with tips on how to make this more tolerable in the mean time?

My wife and I are thinking about having kids and I'm wondering if that will help me with the "legacy" desire (which is a VERY real thing for me.

Good luck in any case and I look forward to seeing the replies this gets...
