Have to say this article is pretty hard to read. Hard to say if I understand what I read about without real practice with testing for now. To be honest I am not sure about what I should do with info from the article. Does my goal is just to set flake8 to VS code and go through article to get overview of tools used to test python code? Or something else?

You may skip that article for now. It's just an example of deeper knowledge. In this task, you don't need to configure any linters, just learn that they exist and maybe look at a few usage examples. I added this link last minute because it was open in my browser and is a quite good overview of what's going on out there in the ecosystem but didn't really check if it's complicated.

I think that it's more important to know PEP 8 and PEP 257 now. When you'll start writing code, I'll ask you to follow those principles but right now I just want you to skim-through with the focus on trying to understand the motivation behind all those code style rules.
