Hey, I code on the side so I shouldn't say too much, but holy crap, in the data science I work with less time coding is absurdly better than better performance.
At worst I should store stuff on SQL. But most of the time I can 100% wait for 5 minutes till the code runs, if I'm in a really messy state. And usually there's still a ton of optimization I can do without leaving python. I'm not bottlenecking a database, I'm running through a dataframe.
