There's infinite cases where I can articulate the high-level task, and have no idea how to accomplish it without a for loop & iterrows.
Like today, I wanted to filter outliers within a group defined by two columns. Found an SO post about doing this within a single-column group. It used a novel mechanism (broadcasting between dataframes of different sizes) and I kept failing to transfer the example to my task.
Maybe Pandas is just overly complex. I liked @yifanwu's example of 8 different ways to filter a dataframe.pic.twitter.com/J3xLfiVHeG
But at the same time, for the parts of the programming model that I do understand, I feel really productive. It's like a beautiful mix of SQL and jq. I never have to use a for-loop, and I rarely even need a higher-order function.
Omg this relates so hard. Because 80% of the time cargo culting stackoverflow works just fine! I don't think anyone knows the answer to this, besides direct peer help and clarification (perhaps GPT-3 :P)
I think this could help. But I do think it's important to cut out SO where possible -- I want Pandas fluency to the point where I can code at the speed of thought, and going to Google is slow.https://twitter.com/wcrichton/status/1283628245531848704 …
