As a Software Engineer, which library or framework was a gamechanger for you?

Personally for me? Shifting from pandas to polars for data related tasks changed my life. Code remained similar in syntax but the systems became more performant at extracting efficiency out of the same machine. Using connectorx for interfacing with the postgres servers was also a gamechanging moment instead of the OG pd.read_sql_query. Across both of these minor changes, on moderate to large datasets, we achieved a near 10x improvement in querying data + doing operations on them.

Spring boot..more focus on building business logic instead of complex configuration.

I have been experimenting with Julia for some Machine Learning workloads and it just beats python hands down. Currently only using it for some pet projects but I think productionizing Julia code would be fun.

Django. I’ve never come across a web development use case for which Django does not cater. Sadly though it receives a lot of hate by spoilt script kiddies who can’t wait to try the next new thing in the market.

Entity framework - so easy to perform database operations and it works for both traditional databases and nosql databases.
