As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

✨ Big O ✨

Let me take you on a visual introduction to what big O notation is in my new blog post: samwho.dev/big-o.

With big O notation you can better understand how algorithms will perform in practice, finding orders of magnitude improvements often with very simple changes to your code.

Azure Cosmos DB Python Basics: Client Configuration and Dependency Injection with FastAPI In this video, you'll learn how to properly configure and wire up a CosmosClient using FastAPI's dependency injection system. Instead of creating new connections for every request, we'll implement a singleton pattern with connection pooling that scales efficiently and integrates seamlessly with Azure Functions. What You'll Learn: • Connection pooling fundamentals and why every CosmosClient creates its own pool • The performance difference between one connection pool versus hundreds • Singleton CosmosClient pattern using global variables and lazy initialization • Clean FastAPI dependency injection setup for database connections • Azure Functions integration patterns that work in production Presenter Gwyneth Peña-Siguenza Links: • Code Repository: https://msft.it/63322ShMAk • Azure Functions Best Practices: https://msft.it/63324ShMAw • Azure Cosmos DB Python Best Practices: https://msft.it/63325ShMAb • FastAPI Dependency Injection: https://msft.it/63326ShMAj • Subscribe to Azure Cosmos DB on YouTube – https://msft.it/63327ShMAd • Follow Azure Cosmos DB on X – https://msft.it/63329ShMA5 • Follow Azure Cosmos DB on LinkedIn – https://msft.it/63321ShMA9 #Python #AzureCosmosDB #Azure #NoSQL #DatabaseTutorial #PythonSDK

New video! 🚀 Learn how to build scalable FastAPI apps with #AzureCosmosDB + Python.

@madebygps.com shows how to:
✅ Use a singleton CosmosClient
✅ Inject it cleanly with FastAPI
✅ Prep for Azure Functions

sushi cat! so cute

wow...

Apologies if you only follow me for technology. However, newsflash, technology is political.

It’s so frustrating that there is this illusion that we are all 49%/49% right now. Us versus them, good versus bad, and it’s all because of the BS that is the electoral system. It’s very likely 70% versus 30% and we’re just not seeing representative government.There’s just no common sense right now

This has been a super interesting experience; maybe I’ll do a video or explain the process at some point. I’m very proud of the result. The most challenging talk I’ve ever done. It should get chopped up on YouTube soon. #TEDxPDX (but it can be found rewinding in the livestream)
