    Pandas supports lazy loading and can read files in chunks. Hell, even regular ole Python doesn’t need to read the whole file at once with csv

      I didn’t know about lazy loading, that’s cool!

      Then I guess that the meme doesn’t apply anymore. Though I will state that (from my anedoctal experience) people that can use Panda’s most advanced features* are also comfortable with other data processing frameworks (usually more suitable to large datasets**)

      *Anything beyond the standard groupby - apply can be considered advanced, from the placrs I’ve been

      **I feel the urge to note that 60Mb isn’ lt a large dataset by any means, but I believe that’s beyond the point
