Comment on Ask HN: Python developers at big companies what is your setup?

Black is the main thing you want IMO.

I think language servers and autocomplete are much more useful for .net (I used to do a lot of C# as a freelancer in college) than they are for python. Personally I just open a REPL and tab around in that if I need it but I do that maybe once a month. Most software is well organized such that you can keep enough of the theory in your head for the default nvim config to work easily. A small FITM model with a ring context like Qwen can help a bit with boilerplate if you really want autocomplete.

Python just isn't that verbose.

Ruff has replaced Black imo. Don’t use black in 2025.
