Can't get pass the login banner using Netmiko?
Curiously I've been googling this and not much out there. This post https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko/issues/988 has the same problem but I don't think it got resolved.

SSH-Script to restart multiple accesspoints
If you can ssh into them, I'd try netmiko: https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko . It's an ssh library specifically for network devices, and deals with some common issue you might encounter when using pure ssh.

Long shot but I'll give Reddit gold to anybody with a working answer: How do I create a VLAN on a Ruckus/Brocade ICX 6450 using snmpset?
You really should use something like https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko and not be poking this stuff with SNMP.

CLI SSH works, but Netmiko/Paramiko results in "Authentication type (password) not permitted" error
Looks like that should already be incorporated in to Netmiko's Powerconnect class: https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko/issues/1782

What's the most well-written, cleanest open source python code you've ever seen?
A good chunk of OpenStack is written in Python. The repositories have some very well-written code. F5 Networks has a well-maintained repository for their SDK. And, Kirk Byers wrote Netmiko, a fantastic library for working with network gear.

Programmatically get list of VM names and IP's from a standalone ESXi server?
You could enable SSH on the esxi box and use Netmiko(https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko) from Python to send VMware commands over the CLI. You can do most everything from the CLI and you can parse output as needed

I have €3,000 budget to go from SDR to Sales Engineer. How would you do it?
Python (open source): Reading other people's code is another way to launch your Python knowledge forward exponentially. As I was extremely interested in network automation, I used Netmiko heavily. And just as luck would have it, Kirk Byers (the author of Netmiko) was on the Network To Code Slack workspace too. I examined the Netmiko code base frequently and would then ask him the how's and why's of what I saw. His answers gave me insights that I hadn't gotten from anywhere else.

AWS Secrets Manager for on-premise and other cloud accounts scaled architecture
You seem to be looking for a cross-platform solution, and https://www.vaultproject.io/ provides just that. If everything was in AWS, AWS Secret Manager might be great, but imo Vault provides much better platform-agnostic capabilities.

Horcrux: Split your file into encrypted fragments
The author of this tool basically took the Shamir code from Hashicorp Vault, which is pretty mainstream. If you're looking for a solid implementation, I would start there[0]. I wouldn't use the Shamir code from this repo, as it's an old version of the vault code using field arithmetic that doesn't run in constant time.
