When someone says AI turns them into a 10X engineer, does that mean they can do the work of 10 engineers?

Can’t believe I became that guy, but I’ve started asking “does that provide business value?” When people ask me to make trivial changes to a visualisation. People don’t care about the font of a table, they just care it’s accurate and understandable

Pandas was the primary reason I disliked python so much. My lord it was such a pest to use for anything that was somewhat complicated

I’m making my code public since my paper is getting published and it’s taking so much self control to not refactor the pandas code to polars

Using AI for most tasks feels like using low code solutions. It may be quicker for simple stuff, but eventually any decent customisation is going to be a headache.
