They asked about my background in python. I told I had made a bot which was using python for image recognition, but for the model analysis they needed, the python level was simple and skills were sufficient enough because I had plenty of high-quality experience writing R models and an R package. They said they were proud they are using python for their models while some competitive companies/banks were still using Excel, essentially mocking them, which didn't seem on par with my ethics-standards. I explained how I could help with their python. I wanted to make sure we are on the same page so I asked some stuff to them, too. I didn't get any answers when I asked what kind of libraries they build, what design patterns they use or examples of idiomatic python.
