In recent months, a peculiar behavior observed in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) has sparked discussions among developers: the automatic insertion of the phrase “co-authored by Copilot” in the code comments, even when GitHub Copilot is not actively used by the developer. This phenomenon raises essential questions regarding code attribution, developer productivity, and the implications of AI-assisted
Decoupling Workloads: Strategies for Non-Blocking API Responses in Python Modern web applications demand instant feedback. Users expect immediate responses, and frustrating delays can quickly lead to abandonment. When an API endpoint performs computationally intensive or time-consuming operations directly within the request-response cycle, it creates a bottleneck that can cripple your backend sy

Lab Environment Component Description Attacker Machine Kali Linux Target Machine Metasploitable2 Network Type Host-only / NAT
No build today. Just fundamentals. And honestly? It humbled me in the best way. Every automation I've built so far has relied on no-code/low-code tools like n8n to handle the logic. But I kept hitting moments where I thought , if I knew Python, I could do this faster, cleaner, and with more control. So I decided to fix that. And then I hit Exception Handling and File Handling and that's where thi
How I automated value discovery in binary oil markets using Python, Yahoo Finance, and the Polymarket API Polymarket lets you trade on the probability of real‑world events. There are often inefficiencies—especially when fear or greed distorts prices. But manually checking dozens of contracts and calculating fair probabilities is tedious. Yesterday, I noticed a juicy set of markets: What price will
Hi everyone! I've been working on a personal project to create a desktop virtual assistant that doesn't rely on the cloud. I wanted something that felt like JARVIS but kept my data 100% private. Brain: It uses Ollama as the backend, so you can run models like Llama 3, Mistral, or Phi-3 locally. Interface: Built with PyQt6 featuring a "holographic" glassmorphism effect (transparent and sleek).
There are two sections to this. In the first section, I discuss what squad is, why it might be useful to learn, and Coding is solved, apparently. If you're a software engineer and you've been using coding agents for a while, The work has certainly changed. For most code changes, it's easier just to ask an agent to do it and you might even worry you're going too slow if you don't. For a lot of us,
While learning python today, I spent some time understanding how the Python shell works and how modules behave inside it. The Python shell (or REPL) is basically an interactive environment where you can run code line-by-line. It's super useful when you just want to test something quickly instead of running a full script every time. While experimenting, I tried something interesting. I created a Py
