These kind of days I’m hardest on myself. Didn’t even hit the gym.
Advice that I was given before is walk away, get your mind off of it and go at it fresh the next day.
It’s ironic what made me a top performer in the military and private sector is also what it feels like it absolutely destroys me.
One of those days where I spend 12 plus hours on a problem and I wasn’t able to solve it. This will irk me all night, it might keep me up and probably will hunt me until it’s solved. I feel like crap, but I also reached out for help.
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions because I’m striving for an improve for me, not just for New Years.

I’m still in the beginning of my #pythonprogrammming journey due to my $dayjob, but here is something I’m learning about. I love dicts, but dataclasses are recommended.
I’m barely at the DSA portion of my Python journey.

Everyone, stand back.
I know Regular Expressions
My job is to help make my team (Security Incident Response) be as effective and efficient as possible. if I can make the software engineering team that reviews my code be as smooth and easily digestible when reading my PR, I should have a higher chance of shipping code which in turn helps my team.
1. Send PRs in smaller chunks. I usually send PRs in bigger code chunks that get complex and bogged down in administrative task (review, corrections, discussions, etc). Smaller PRs was suggested in the book.
2. Ship everyday. I usually work in long iterations before I submit a PR. Look above
Being an Incident Responder (Security) acting as the team’s sole Software Engineer, reading The Software Engineer’s Guidebook by @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com has been indispensable to me. I want to help my team with software engineering projects and a few things I’m taking away asap:
Bro, if LeBron can do it, so can you. Who said you can’t have your 2nd or 3rd prime at 40 years old?
Ball up top
I stopped adding random people and only connect with people I know personally or met in person, upped my privacy on there and noticed most of my noise has been filter down to my interest. Not that I log on all that much, but it’s cool to keep up with people I know.
Is it worth it? Depends I guess.
There's one thing I've been REALLY enjoying using uv for: writing standalone #Python scripts that require third-party dependencies.
I stick this in the top of the file and it just works! 👇
#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --quiet --script
# /// script
# dependencies = [
# "openai==0.27.2",
# ]
# ///

Working in Python daily at work while scoring a 96% in my CompSci class in you guessed it, Python.
I’m able to actually implement what I learn in class in the real-world almost in real-time.
Feeling pretty good right now
Huge for the SnapAttack team. Such a good product, they know what the hell they are doing, that’s for sure and can tell from their product.
Congrats SnapAttack team

Let out stress
I don’t have enough time to check all these tools out 😭
I’m def going to use some of these Python tools though in my projects

I will tackle Automate the Boring Stuff or Python Crash Course. DSA in Python book is also on the radar
#pythonprogramming
I might of found my next “book” over my winter break, “Data Structures and Information Retrieval in Python” by Allen Downey (in parallel to hands-on projects ofc). Think will tackle this after Python Jumpstart since I’m a completionist. Before I completed “Starting out with Python” and after I think
Just heard OpenAI is down. Let me start asking people question
Thanks, Drew!

Yes, I bought the new audiobook that came out today
Just bought @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com The Software Engineering’s Guidebook. I’m a newbie, but looking forward to this read and something to strive for.

No edit button is killing me. I can’t be the only one that thinks faster than I type 😭
You are right, I should dive deep into projects in parallel to my next book. I always been hesitant about project work in Python because I work in it day to day, but I just realized not actually what I’m studying. I work on needs of the business. Thank you for the insight. I’ll report back =)
