Thank you Guido! At the risk of sounding saccharine, Python has literally made life better for my colleagues and me. In the corporate, financial world where I’ve been working, people often see coding as someone else’s job. Python, and the community that has grown around it, have made programming accessible (socially acceptable?). It has saved months of work for us.

I hope you enjoy whatever you set yourself to next.

Indeed, new joiners in investment banks these days are increasingly expected to know Python at least -- and not just for technology roles, but junior traders and managers as well. For financial services it's the new VBA, but better.

I can only agree. Me and a colleague are the only ones using Python for HR (HRIS) that we know of, but people are very interested when we tell them how we use it for data quality, automation and reporting. There will surely be more in the future.
