I know I'm not the only one, but it's hard to imagine doing my job the last several year without Pandas. Even though Pandas has been used in production by many people as basically a 1.0.0 release for a long time, this an amazing milestone and I think everyone in my office smiled when they saw the release news.
I think it's worth it to acknowledge the great stewardship of the community by all the Pandas developers (and the rest of people in the PyData ecosystem). It has been an inspiration for me as I create and contribute to open source libraries for data science [0][1].

- alexpetralia 7y agoI basically owe my career to pandas - it made me the go-to resource for any data analysis that couldn't be done in Excel. Once I became useful in that respect, I was strongly encouraged to further develop my programming knowledge.
