What a waste of electricity. All because numpy and pandas did not get their APIs right. My hot take.

I'd say you're both right, based on my limited experience. I can't seem to do much in numpy or pandas without resorting to ChatGPT or a notebook-based assistant. I assume that need will go away with additional experience, but maybe that's being overoptimistic.

I wish ChatGPT had been around when I learned C. It would sure have saved the programmers in my neighboring offices a lot of grief.
