Thanks a lot, @amosbastian. Emre also recommended I familiarize myself with the PEP8 style guide, have had the tab open on my phone but just have not got around to it just yet but have every intention of doing so.

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to do things but often end up doing them the quick and dirty way which isn't so good for collaboration so will make it a point to slow down, take my time, and adopt a more "do things right the first time" mindset.

I know that open source projects have a tendency to constantly evolve and that makes it all the more essential to adopt a solid SDLC methodology and practice. I have a cursory understanding of those things but sure it would behoove us if I were to become more familiar. Case and point, we are working through some issues with bugs regarding our queueing mechanism which has been quite the challenge.

Starting off, things had been very ad-hoc but we are starting to get more organized and I attribute this, in part, to having to fall in with other developers and learning how to work together whereas formerly I would work in my own silo. I've learned much in my last couple years on this blockchain and Steem and Utopian has been quite the catalyst for my professional development. I really appreciate the opportunities yall give people and looking forward to being learning and being part of that!
