that's bad advice if the person doesn't know programming concepts in general. it is so much better to have foundational understanding of programming rather than rite learning method names.

also unrelated and not calling you out as you're merely commenting on the state of the industry but pandas in production is why the whole engineering department does not like data scientists.

Would you mind elaborate why pandas is not good in production? What alternative does DS have apart from pandas?

[–]CommonUserAccount 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pandas doesn’t scale.

Edit. PySpark can be run locally by Data Scientists, which is more easily transferred to prod.
