We’ve all been there: minding our own business when suddenly a wild update notification appears like a needy raccoon at your digital doorstep. It wants attention, food (aka disk space), and possibly a reboot that will last just long enough to make you late for a Zoom call. But fear not — this isn’t a rant about … Read more
If you’ve ever heard the term TF-IDF and thought it sounded like a sneeze in a spreadsheet, you’re not alone. But stick with me — because once you get it, TF-IDF goes from “Huh?” to “Aha!” faster than you can say “inverse document frequency” (don’t worry, we’ll get there). So, What Is TF-IDF Anyway? TF-IDF stands for Term … Read more

SpaceX started 2025 by practically turning rocket launches into a weekly (sometimes almost daily) routine. In the first quarter alone, Elon Musk’s team managed 36 Falcon 9 launches, outpacing last year’s cadence by 16%. (Yes, 36 launches in three months — they’re basically carpooling to orbit at this point.) This launch frenzy, largely driven by Starlink satellite … Read more

Let’s talk about bananas. Not the fun yellow ones you toss in a smoothie or find browning tragically on your kitchen counter. No, I’m talking about the tough, starchy green ones that look like they’re about to sue for defamation if you dare call them “fruit.” Last year, in the steamy beauty of Costa Rica, … Read more
Once upon a time in the quirky land of Python, three ORMs walked into a bar. Django ORM, the well-dressed enterprise type. Peewee, the scrappy minimalist hipster. And Tortoise ORM, the async-savvy millennial with a nose for speed. What follows is their group therapy session… I mean, comparison guide. Django ORM What is it?It’s the … Read more
You may have seen it by now — an unassuming little button lurking under a tweet, labeled “Explain this post.” Maybe you tapped it. Maybe you didn’t. Maybe you stared at it like it was a decoy set by the Algorithm Police. But here’s the good news: it’s not a trap. It’s Grok, X’s resident AI sidekick, … Read more
You know you’re a Python dev when “serialization” sounds less like data engineering and more like a Netflix original. Today, let’s talk about three majestic beasts of the Python ecosystem that all do vaguely similar things, have wildly different personalities, and probably wouldn’t survive two hours on a group project together: Marshmallow, Attrs, and Django … Read more
Let’s talk about the sales funnel. Or as I like to call it: the slippery slide of seduction that takes your customers from “Who the heck are you?” to “Take my money!” — with a few detours through existential doubt, discount codes, and a healthy amount of stalking (the legal marketing kind, not the restraining-order kind).
