Backend systems, automation, data pipelines, and production Python. From building Discord bots to understanding the language's real strengths and limitations.
Programming
CPython has had informal WebAssembly support since Python 3.11. PEP 816 changes that. Brett Cannon just locked down exactly which WASI and SDK versions each Python release will target — and why SDK versions 26 and 27 got blacklisted entirely.
Cybersecurity
RSA-2048 can be broken with fewer than 100,000 qubits. What that means for TLS, certificate infrastructure, and the post-quantum transition already underway.
Cryptography
In this article, I am going to show you what to learn from the first articles to turn it into real world, production safe usage. This article is going to cover one last major concept before we get into the real world usage of RSA: create unforgeable digital signatures. The
Data Science
Data science is the discipline of extracting meaning from data using statistics, programming, and domain knowledge. It is also one of the most poorly defined job titles in the industry. Here is what the field actually covers, what the tooling looks like, and what real data science work involves.
Web Development
Flask started as an April Fools joke and became one of the most widely deployed Python web frameworks in production. Here is how it works, what makes it different from Django, and what a real production Flask API looks like.
Web Development
Django is the Python web framework that ships with an ORM, admin panel, authentication, and migrations out of the box. Instagram built its 2-billion-user backend on it. Here is how it works and when you should use it.
Programming
Python runs Instagram, Dropbox, Netflix, Spotify, and Reddit. It trains the models that power modern AI. It processes petabytes of data in enterprise pipelines. And I ignored it for years because I thought it was just for academics. Here is what changed my mind.
Programming
Enumerations (Enums) provide a powerful way to represent a set of named values. Enums bring clarity, maintainability, and readability to code by replacing numeric or string constants with more meaningful named constants. The most common way I see people use enums is in roles in a web application such as
Programming
asyncio isn't magic. It's a while loop that checks a queue. Once you understand the event loop model, async/await stops being confusing and starts being the most useful tool in your Python kit. Here's the mental model, the real code, and the mistakes that will ruin your day.
Web Development
How many total websites do you think there is on the internet? According to recent estimates, there is around 1.10 billion websites. This is also with new websites being added and old websites being removed everyday all the time. I doubt any of us can consider how much data
Cryptography
Parts 1 and 2 built a working RSA implementation. Part 3 breaks it. Timing attacks, chosen-ciphertext attacks, and the specific ways textbook RSA fails — plus how real-world implementations defend against them.
Cryptography
RSA key generation and integer encryption were explained in Part 1. This is good for demonstrating how the algorithm works, but not really usable for exchanging real messages. Part 2 adds big random prime generation and text encryption.
