An opinionated list of Python frameworks, libraries, tools, and resources
More rules should mean better output. That's the intuition. I spent weeks building a comprehensive CLAUDE.md — 200 lines covering naming conventions, security rules, error handling, architectural patterns, import ordering, type safety requirements, and more. I was proud of it. I'd thought through every scenario. Then I scored the output. 79.0 / 100. My carefully crafted documentation was actively
Yesterday, I hit the rate limits on all my AI subscriptions. I was blocked. For two hours. I was just sitting there, staring at the message in Copilot CLI… wondering what to do next. Do I: Buy extra credits? Upgrade my plans to some “pro max” tier Or just code by myself like I used to? First option = more money. And honestly, I wasn’t ready to invest more. Second option = free, but let’s be real…
You have probably seen a file named “go.sum” in almost every Go project you have worked on. You may have even seen it change every time you run “go mod tidy”. But do you actually know what it does? It is one of those files that works silently in the background, and some developers never stop to think about it. The “go.sum” file is one of those files you never really interact with directly, but it
Have you ever looked at code you wrote six months ago and thought: "Who wrote this monster?"? Relax, it happens to all of us. In software engineering, writing code that a machine understands is the easy part. The real challenge is writing code that other humans (including your future self) can understand, maintain, and scale. This is exactly where Software Design Principles come into play. In this
Part 1 of 5 in The New Engineering Contract — what it means to lead engineers when AI is doing more of the coding. SWE-CI tested 18 AI models across 71 consecutive commits. Most broke something on commit 47 they'd already broken on commit 1. That's not an intelligence problem. That's a learning system that isn't learning. A paper made me uncomfortable this month. Not because of what it found about
