    Your issue is that you're using the default (old) binding to GDAL, based on Fiona [0].

    You need to use pyogrio [1], its vectorized counterpart, instead. Make sure you use `engine="pyogrio"` when calling `to_file` [2]. Fiona does a loop in Python, while pyogrio is exclusively compiled. So pyogrio is usually about 10-15x faster than fiona. Soon, in pyogrio version 0.8, it will be another ~2-4x faster than pyogrio is now [3].

  • GIS Developer career path

    As has been said the definition of a GIS dev is far from written in stone, but to chime in from a personal standpoint: most of what I do is data wrangling/analysis with shapely/geopandas for vectors (or pygeos / fiona for performance when data volumes get large, but seeing as Shapely 2.0 just got released one can likely skip this part) + rasterio for rasters as well as parallelising these tasks for performance if needed (ray is great for that) and then performing machine learning learning against the data (mostly with sklearn and torch).
