that's somehow worse.

a "data analyst" couldn't cut up the work into a parallel processes and run them synchronously? what the actual fuck?

"sorry, I can only do 60k at a time."

just fucking split them up into 6 parallel batch processes running 10k at a time. it's fucking math, not rocket science. I'm not even an analyst and I could fucking do that much.

I don't want to take away from the valid point of your comment, but rocket science is almost exclusively math
