You’ll be the janitor cleaning up their 20k LoC, one file Python with zero abstraction.
If this is already a thing at a FAANG, it will be worse at a pure science shop.

- sargstuff 4y agoUmmm... messy python/R sounds lot better than messy numerical analysis in fortran with NO programming standards because has been used/modified for over 50+ years. Mainly because can find / write software to analyze & reorganize modern structured languages such as python & R into something recongnized in programming field as appropriate approach/structure.
