I don't use dataframes in my day job but have dabbled in them enough that I found this website pretty easy to digest.

You'd really have to be a complete data engineering newbie to not understand it I think?

I mean, where do you draw the line? You wouldn't expect a software tool like this to explain what it is in language my grandma would understand, I don't think?

I do occasionally use Pandas in my day job, but I honestly think very few programmers that could have use for a data frame library would describe themselves as a “data engineer” at all.

In my case, for example, I’m just a physicist - I don’t work with machine learning, big data, or in the software industry at all. I just use Pandas + Seaborn to process the results of numerical simulations and physical experiments similarly to how someone else might use Excel. Works great.
