That's how much faster my final, highly optimized approach was over the first solution I tried.

This video tackles the popular "one billion row challenge", and by the end I'm pretty sure I've got the fastest pure Python approach.

This was a ton of fun to make, and I think you'll like it. So, go check it out!

Programmers hate doing things that could be automated. No task is more frustrating than one that could be automated, but just… isn’t yet.

My latest video tells the true story of a painful Python script that our team begrudgingly ran every Monday morning, and how we ultimately automated away all that frustration by using the awesome workflow orchestration library, Prefect.

You'll learn how just one library import and a few minor changes to your code can allow you to:
- Schedule your Python Script to run on local or remote systems
- Handle Errors with Retries
- Monitor your workflows in an incredibly powerful web-based UI
- Parallelize and scale your code's using on-prem compute clusters or Cloud platforms
- Persist Python results and Markdown reports
- and more...

You definitely need to check this video out if you want your team to think you're a super hero because you delivered all the above features in one afternoon.
