Let’s talk about Starlette, the web framework that sounds like a sparkly intergalactic pop star but is, in fact, a blisteringly fast ASGI toolkit for building web services in Python. It’s lightweight. It’s opinionated-but-chill. And it doesn’t bring a truckload of dependencies to your backyard barbecue. What Is It? Starlette is a high-performance ASGI (Asynchronous … Read more
So you’ve got a dozen images — half of them .jpg, the other half .webp because the internet is chaotic like that—and you need to upscale them by 10X. Not 2X. Not 4X. Ten. You want to take a humble 500×500px image and turn it into a majestic 5000×5000px beast. Here’s the twist: you’re on a Mac, and you … Read more
Well, here we are — possibly the final curtain for Friday Night Laughs. Or maybe just an intermission. Or maybe I just accidentally sat on the keyboard again and hit “publish.” But if this is the end, let’s go out with the comedic equivalent of a marching band, fireworks, and a confused duck in a monocle. Buckle … Read more
Ah, Flask-RESTful. The duct tape of Python APIs. Elegant as a penguin in a tuxedo, yet scrappy enough to survive in the wild world of web dev.

“Falcor? Isn’t that the fluffy flying dragon from The NeverEnding Story?” Why yes, dear reader, it is.

Hey. I just wanted to say something real quick. I love you. Not like “showing up outside your window holding a boombox in the rain” love. More like “you let me have the last fry and didn’t even flinch when I double-dipped” love. The kind that says, “You’re good. I see you. And if you … Read more
Let’s talk about wedding anniversaries — those delightful little checkpoints in the wild marathon of marriage. Whether you’re still googling “how to fold a fitted sheet” in year one or smugly celebrating 50 years with a golden glow, these milestones are more than just an excuse to eat cake (though, let’s be real, cake is a big … Read more
Let’s talk about DataLoader — the silent intern of your AI pipeline who does 95% of the work and still gets no credit. This is the part of the workflow that’s like the roadie at a rock concert. Without it, the lead guitarist (your model) is just a sweaty guy holding a plank of wood on a … Read more
Picture this: you’re halfway through a long week, your coffee’s gone cold, and your boss just asked you to “circle back” on something you swore you’d never touch again. What’s the cure?
