Friday of monotonous data visualization work…so, having a documentary of python original developers as white noise.
I had not idea python was soooo old. 1990?
I first saw the snake icon in computers that had ArcGis 9.3 installed. 2007 or a bit later, don’t remember exactly. I used some scripts for work but never coded anything. Some weird people talked about this snake as Python.
Only until 2012 I met people that code with this thing. I inherited a project that relied on it on 2016 and it was time to get into it. Great for parsing data, pre and post-processing simulation data, visualization work, but a bit slow for actual calculations. Anyway, it’s great “sketching tool” I can code something, and give it to a real CS person who will make the job run in 0.05s in C++.
I’m still surprised because Python has become an important thing at work. I never imagined I would generate sales and income with Python, ever. So, thanks to developers from the 1980s!
