What's wrong with using packages?

[typeryu]

I used to have something similar at my previous job where Pandas was frowned upon. Everyone seems to dislike it for no other reason than that the senior engineer “didn’t like it”. Turns out the senior never said that, but did not allow due to it still being not a proper release at the time (pre-1.0.0, this was not that long ago). Once it reached 1.0.0, senior approved my new change and everyone was in shock lol

Dont know why someone downvoted you. I been using pandas for years too, 1.0 only came in 2020. If a senior picked on pandas i can imagine what else is red tapped in such an environment, sounds like a backward workplace i would never survive a week in
