For companies/employees that choose to share (eg in hopes of getting recruited to a new job) you can even get individuals information from that site. That includes actual job titles.
These companies tend to be very light on administrative roles anyway. So the ratios make sense even if they just laid off 5% of staff in total.
Totally, but I'm not aware of anyone using either properly in a truly production environment. Both are more on the hobbyist or tinkering side, or in the Linux space anyway where you can already just do anything.
(From what I've seen? Would be thrilled to see examples!)
I really like Micropython too. I made a "game" that communicates state between multiple boards over wifi in almost no time compared to how long it would take in C++.
I'm not suggesting replacing the small programs with one mega Python script, I meant that even C is not a good language for that either.
If you're chaining a bunch of stuff together through your shell environment anyway, you're not using the low level benefits of C, so you're just punishing yourself with having to implement everything by hand every time! Python is amazing because the syntax is clear and readable and the standard library has nearly everything you'd need if you're not building a large application.
However since most of these things are going to be one-liners then yeah you may want to just put them in one script!
I don't think they were voting for CPC in any case, their point was that at least then the CPC alternative wasn't simply shameful.
