Yes, that’s expected of every scientist I am working with. The reason is quite simple and have little to do with Engineering work being more expensive than Scientific one (it’s actually the opposite): get a nice problem to solve or a great model to build, and very soon, you have an ivory tower completely disconnected from the original objective. To be fair, I don’t ask scientists to understand concurrency issues in programming. Only the basic stuff that is required for delivering a functional program. Yes, Pandas and Scikit-learn belong to the basic stuff.
