Anyone here who is smart enough to write alternative solutions to the problems that pandas solves is capable of making a meaningful contribution to the pandas project, yet it seems that once pandas reaches the limits of its usefulness people go off and write a proprietary solution, never giving back.
What stopped you from contributing improvements to pandas? Have you taken alternate routes to open source your work?
- antod 9y agoNot very familiar with pandas, but it looks like the author of this post is the creator of pandas.
- Dowwie 9y agoYes, Wes is. My comment isn't about him.
- mojoe 9y agoThere are pretty huge barriers to open sourcing work in certain large companies.
- coliveira 9y agoYou probably never took a deep look at pandas. It is a very complex library with lots of dependencies. It is not surprising that it is easier to implement an alternative rather than change the existing one.
