I am already exploring this domain professionally, as I've seen the light you allude to. Python truly is powerful. If you want an example... there was a dashboard I ran monthly, until the data stopped existing, that took 2.5 days to do by hand. I eventually automated 99.7% of it with Python, reducing the run time to... 10 minutes! Talk about huge time savings.

That’s great news. If you haven’t already could we tempt you to write an article about that ? Sounds like an epic win!!!

Given that I haven't even touched SciPy yet for the most part and I've already seen huge wins from Python, let alone written here about it... I suppose I should do that, then!
