Learned helplessness was disproved, by the way. If I remember correctly, there is even a recent paper from the original authors confirming this.

Helplessness isn't learned, it's a result of not knowing how to deal with the situation. So, try new things, search for the solutions and don't give up — that's the recipe.

Well, duh. Seaborn is a plotting lib for research — you will probably make a couple of hundred calls to it in a week. In a week. After that, you will save your figures for the report and forget about your code. It's plainly obvious that you don't use it in a high load production scenario.

I just don't see how a person could spend 20 years using python and still can't figure out that you shouldn't hammer nails with a microscope.

So, instead of printing a pretty plot in 2 lines of code, you will be... making these 20k syscalls yourself?

You have such unusual hobby, my friend!

Yeah, and Markov chains aren't much smarter than... matrix multiplication. A lot of stuff have been built with it, but these pesky c++ libs like lapack — such a bother to use! Imagine a world where a good infrastructure have been built around it — matrix multiplication certainly would be a blast!
