I saw a quote once that stuck with me: python is the second best language for everything, first at nothing.

What are the best languages for "executable pseudocode" or "glue language" roles?

And there's 1 guy he knows that's a 10x developer and always willing to take one for the team.

I'll leave it to HN to figure out what that means :P

Call native libraries?

Write a metric shit ton of unmaintainable, underperforming pandas code and call it an effective solution
