"whats the point of pandas normalization? like, why bother?"
seriously tho, i see people normalizing data all the time in pandas and i’m just sitting here like... does it *actually* matter?
i get that it’s supposed to make things "consistent" or whatever, but half the time my raw data works fine. am i missing something?
like, is it just for ML stuff or does it help with basic analysis too? feels like extra steps for no reason sometimes.
anyone else feel this way or am i just lazy? lol.
(also, if it *is* worth it, pls explain like i’m 5. thx.)
