The take home project was to write a script that grabs a file from a linux repo and calculate some stats about it, but they also said to code like its going into prod. I added lots of unit tests, error handling, custom and detailed exceptions, broke it into classes and structured it like a real python project should look. Never got any feedback on any of it. Was that where I messed up? Was it somewhere else? Who knows.
