I am proud to announce that my first Excel add-in is live on Microsoft's AppSource! This has been an amazing experience and learned a lot along the way: - MS Azure - Authentication - Javascript (Office.js) - htmx - Jinja templates - more #FastAPI

How to mitigate the risk of screwing up your app codebase (Vibe coder edition). 🛠 TL;DR: Use git. 💻 Picture the following: You are starting an app concept using your favorite LLM Code assistant (GH Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc) 🚀

I've been using Kiro for over a week now (I was fortunate to get access before the waitlist). Having used Cursor for over a year, here are some differences between the two IDEs:

📊 What does this code do? 1. Prints all values 2. Prints non-zero values 3. Syntax error 4. Prints nothing

I have been testing Kiro for a couple of days, and I have to say that it is great! Kiro is a new AI IDE by AWS, and it is free to try with some good limits on usage.

Most people think statistics is about complicated math. It’s not. It’s about making smarter decisions with data—and if you’re not comfortable with these 6 tools, you’re flying blind.

Share your Cursor usage plot! I'm curious to see how efficiently others use tools like Cursor. There's an interesting plot in your Cursor account that displays the number of lines proposed by Cursor and how many you accepted.

🐍 Python makes a lot of things easier... but there is always a library or functionality which is critical for you, everyday. You just can't imagine working without it anymore. Which of these libraries do you rely on the MOST when using Python? 1. Pydantic 2. FastAPI 3. Django 4. Sqlalchemy

Here are 5 funny things I learned building my first website... and what it taught me about the internet. I just wanted my own little corner of the web. No ChatGPT back then—just deep Google dives, blog posts, and a few books. Here is what surprised me:

Python in Excel or the browser—fully offline. No servers. No installs. Just plug-n-code Sounds too good to be true? That’s exactly what tools like xlwings Lite, Anaconda Code, JupyterLite, and PySheets make possible today.

Which AI tool is actually worth your time and money right now? I’ve been testing different AI tools over the past few months— some great, some not worth the cost. If you’re trying to figure out the best combination of tools for coding, writing, or just thinking clearly,

Random Forest is a popular machine learning algorithm that combines the output of multiple decision trees, each trained on a random subset of data and features. Then, it aggregates the predictions of these trees to get the final result. Some of the advantages are:

#LearningRust day 3 ---------------------------------------------- Some basic concepts from the book: “Rust is an ahead-of-time compiled language, meaning you can compile a program and give the executable to someone else, and they can run it even without having Rust installed.”

If you are not using shortcuts in Excel, then you haven't been using it long enough. The one I use the most is Ctrl + Shift + Arrow since it lets me select entire blocks of data in a second. What's your personal favorite? 💡

If you’re learning Python, clearer error messages make all the difference — they’re more than just syntax alerts.

#formulaML 📊 No Python. No IDE. Just Excel formulas. 🔗Coming beta testing form-> tally.so/r/mRlaWJ

You’ve seen colleagues using Python. To analyze data. To apply machine learning. To make smarter decisions. You’re still working with Excel. And doing what you can. But deep down… you know you could do more. More insights. Better forecasts. Smarter models.

When I started with Python, type hints were just this “new thing” in the docs. No one used them and since Python is a dynamically typed language, why they even existed? Just write your code and it runs.

#LearningRust day 2 Installing #Rust The recommended way is to install rustup from the command line or terminal. I'm using MacOS so I was tempted to see if an installation through #brew was available.

What’s the next programming language you want to learn? I’m curious to hear from others!

#LearningRust Day 1 I searched Google "What's the best way to learn #Rust". After spending about 10 minutes searching across different sites and Reddit posts, I'll focus on using two resources: - The Rust Programming Language - Rustlings

I've been glancing at #Rust for a while, but now it's time to commit and learn it properly. Why learn Rust? Here are a few points that caught my attention as an outsider:

Real-life memory leaks... When I see #code I wrote 1 week ago 😩 How long does it take for you to forget the meaning of the code you wrote? and did you do the next time to avoid that?

Another feature of #formulaML is that you can plug and play datasets to quickly test and learn new algorithms. ✅ Try formulaML if you want to: ✔ Implement #machinelearning without writing code ✔ Access classic datasets in seconds ✔ Start understanding predictive modeling

Excel is amazing… but what would you improve? I use Excel almost every day. But there are a few things that could definitely be better.

🚀 Machine Learning in Excel? formulaML is my attempt to bring Machine Learning where people feel most confortable with and where their data already resides - Spreadsheets and using what they already know = formulas. 📊 No Python. No IDE. Just Excel formulas.

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” — Helen Keller

t-strings in #python. Because so many abused f-strings to write SQL and HTML 😅. Still a nice addition to Python 3.14 to improve on flexibility and security.

Despite using train_test_split for some time now, I just realized you can specify an integer to the "test_size" argument of this function to specify the exact number of samples you want to get as your test size.

Great insight into how MCP (Model Context Protocol) was born. Check out this podcast episode from Software Engineering Daily.

Despite all the LLM hype, I truly think it's worth learning basic Machine learning. If you have a small dataset in Excel, start learning the basics of ML to elevate your statistical analysis and provide greater insights.

My current tech stack as Software/Scientific developer: (I bet you also use the last one even if you are not a developer) Dev environment: 🧠 Cursor 💡 uv Backend: 🐍 Python Frontend: 📝 Some JavaScript 🎨 HTML/CSS - Bootstrap

Is this still happening?

AI and parenting. When allucination is not a bug, but a feature. Prompt:

A lifetime PyCharm user goes back to VSCode... 📌 Here are 5 reasons that made me switch: 1️⃣ It's 100% free 2️⃣ Because it's free, chances are that your colleague are also using it. Most of the It's easier to collaborate on software projects with VSCode

I often run into np.datetime64 objects when working with scientific computing in Python, especially time-series analysis (oil production vs. time). While NumPy is great for calculations, these objects can be a pain when it comes to sharing data with the frontend or other systems.

If you find yourself using #Python and pandas to group and plot small datasets that fit in memory, do yourself a favor and learn to use Pivot Tables/Charts in #Excel. You'll be surprised how far you can go with it.

As a guy who loves tech, I was always curious about the latest shining new technology, trying it, and doing something with it. Of course it was great to know the latest thing, but it also made me waste too much time, too many times.

Enums in Python are one of those objects that are often overlooked by self-taught developers but actually really useful! Here are some benefits:

If you have an old iPad lying around, remember you might be able to use it as a secondary screen with your MacBook. Here is my old iPad Pro from 2016 being put to good use.

Hey people, big tech will keep scrapping your #data, and the people that can put it to good use won't be able to access it. If you don't like it, you can always go somewhere else. You are probably going to buy products that have used your data anyways.

Hosting your first #web app and seeing it work online is magical.

Do you want to run #Python in Excel, locally and for FREE⁉️ I just tried Anaconda Code, and it's great! Since it's based on PyScript, your code runs locally, and you only need a free Anaconda Cloud account to get started. Check it out in this video. 🐍👩‍💻 https://youtu.be/0BiBVYhqMBg
