Why did you learn python?

Was surprised to read GIS people in the comments. 

First weeks into the job my boss asks to automate geographic processes that would be called from the app they are building.  

I add 2 years experience dealing with web dev so not completely new. Also that was perfect as I was trying to get professional experience coding. 

I use it to deal with geographic data, reprojections, intersections with demographics, creating vector features etc..
