This is true. I primarily write research code as well as some code that goes to prod.

I love writing Python for exactly the reason you've mentioned. If something that needs to be re-written in a "proper" language, we've guys that can write that thing in them quickly and I don't need to worry about them that much. Did I mention those guys usually gets paid half as much as I do? As long as things work man.

You certainly did! Congratulations on being a more valuable person than a software engineer.

I think he's software engineer too. Just the one who's paid more for figuring what to write, not how to write it.
