Your body needs rest. Your mind does too.

People say to simply review the code that AI generates. But how can you do that effectively if you don't write code yourself? The less you write, the worse your review will be.

Friday brings #Python! Have you ever wanted to access dictionary items using dot notation? Now you can!

Anthropic says they will not have ads inside their models. Personally, I like that. However, do you remember what Firefox did with promises?

oh! robots will not kill me what a relief

If you use a Mac and prefer to do everything with your keyboard, try Aerospace.

Snow makes me feel like Christmas time is back again.

I’m having fun in the mountains.

What could be better than driving around mountains and relaxing there?

Friday brings #Python! How often do you use the functools module? Recently, I've started using it frequently in Data Engineering pipelines. It allows me to write more compact code. Here is a robust example, but it could also be suitable for smaller tasks. What do you think?

There is no better OS for programming. It’s a question about effectiveness, productivity, learning, etc. The same OS could be good and shit for different people. P.S. Windows isn’t … my choice.

1 hour = front-end, back-end, and a video service I understand why people are so excited about AI-driven coding. Without AI, accomplishing the same tasks would take a lot more time. Nevertheless, there are no tests, many bugs, and messy code. I still need to clean it up a bit.

Sometimes, you need time to recharge.

Finally, someone calculated the ACTUAL cost of a Claude Max subscription. It's unbelievable. Would you pay 10+ times more for "vibe-coding"?

Memory... Can be tricky, right? Imagine I want an LLM to remember my previous conversation. What would you use for that?

If you had a tough week, you should have an active weekend!

Friday brings #Python I've discovered something new! Did you know that you can suppress an exception? Now you do.

Some say AI will replace developers. But do developers only write code? They often do much more.

Which skills are the top 3 for Claude Code?

Maintaining an open-source library isn't just about writing code; it's also about guiding others in their contributions.

Imagine if tomorrow all LLMs were five times more expensive than they are now. Would you still use agentic coding as you do today?

OpenCode is a solid product, and I enjoy using it.

When two great things come together: - NeoVim - OpenCode

Friday brings #Python In case you forget, let me remind you that generators are much more memory-efficient than lists.

Why do people think vibe-coding and using AI agents for coding are the same thing? They occupy different ends of the spectrum.

I saw a post on LinkedIn where someone mentioned waking up at 4am and going to bed at 7pm to boost productivity. How is it possible to fall asleep at 7 pm?

I thought OpenAI's Voice To Text Whisper was great. I've tried Deepgram too, and you are not going to believe it.

While developers debate whether LLMs will replace them, other models for video generation are already replacing people on screen. They are impressive.

Working on your own project is undeniably appealing.

This year marks the first time I won't renew my JetBrains All Products subscription. I began using it in April 2018.

Friday brings #Python Today, I'm presenting an example using the Counter class. This class enables you to perform intriguing operations with other collections. In my example, we count the appearance of each character and then display the top 8.

I'm considering about having "Data Engineering Wednesday" in a same way as I post about Python on Friday. What do you think about that?

Open source doesn't fit the model of "everything is for money."

I'm not afraid of AI taking my job. I used to build simple apps, and I'm fine with AI handling that now.

Happy Birthday to me! 😁

Your body will thank you if you take care of it.

If you want success in programming, you should never stop learning.

Friday brings #Python It's going to be the shortest Python Friday ever. We need to start the new year with something chill. Relax for a bit. Just run this. Trust me, it won't destroy anything on your computer.

The best thing about Spark is its lazy evaluation with Catalyst Optimizer. It makes life easier, even if I produce suboptimal code.

What should be done to make Europe great again? I'm definitely not an expert. However, I have something to say as someone who was born outside of Europe. 🧵 ⬇️

This year isn't as cool as many other people's. However, it's better than the previous one.

I've used AlDente to control my MacBook's charge level, but it hasn't helped much since I mostly use the battery actively. Limiting the maximum charge is more beneficial when you're sitting at a desk rather than on the sofa.

Modern “AI” can either disable critical thinking or help you learn new things. You choose.

I've closed a small project called Chatty Robo. It's a wrapper around OpenAI with custom prompts. The user interface was a Telegram bot. Although I had some users, I decided to free up the resources it required.

Friday brings #Python Even though I'm still recovering from a week and a half of being sick, I'm going to post something about Python. Did you know that NaN cannot be equal to itself? Now you know that for sure. NaN stands for "Not a Number."

Taking care of your health is crucial. I'm now into the second week of being sick.

Merry Xmas to everyone!

What a gift it is to be sick one week before the holidays. What could be better? It's recovering for more than a week 🤧

When Microsoft acquired GitHub, many believed it was a bad move. Now, I'm beginning to see why. GitHub plans to reduce pricing but will start charging for self-hosted runners. Billing will be per minute, meaning a 2-second run will be billed as a 1-minute run.

Xmas is almost here so don’t forget to spend time with your relatives.
