Congratulations, #TypeScript, you’ve gone from “that optional type-safe layer on JavaScript” to “the default language on #GitHub,” riding the dual waves of framework defaults and #AI-powered coding. For a language that used to be a “nice add-on if you like types,” TS is now the de facto bread-and-butter for a very large portion of public GitHub development. Having the most contributors doesn’t equal being “best” for every scenario, for instance, for quick scripting, lightweight prototyping, or #data science ( areas where #Python still excels ), TS’s type-heavy syntax might be overkill. Static types help prevent certain bugs, but they’re not a silver bullet, a 2022 academic study comparing TS and JS codebases didn’t find conclusive evidence that TS always leads to higher software quality or fewer bugs, projects also differ...... A small CLI script, a backend #microservice, a data-science notebook, they have very different constraints, and TS isn’t always the ideal tool for all of them. https://lnkd.in/eavFM63M

🏁 Day 4: Why Higher-Order Functions (HOFs) are a Game Changer On Day 4 of my coding journey, and today I hit a major milestone: Higher-Order Functions. If you’ve ever wondered how modern frameworks (like React or Django) handle logic so elegantly, the secret is usually HOFs. In simple terms, these are functions that treat other functions like data—they can take them as arguments or return them as results. The 3 Big Concepts I Tackled Today: 1️⃣ First-Class Citizens: This was a mindset shift. I learned that functions aren't just "actions" we call; they are variables we can pass around, store in arrays, and move across our codebase. 2️⃣ The Power of Encapsulation: By using HOFs to "wrap" logic, I can create more reusable code. Instead of writing the same "error handling" logic ten times, I can write one HOF that "wraps" any function with that protection. 3️⃣ The "Big Three" Built-ins: Map: Transforming data. Filter: Sifting through data. Reduce: Condensing data into a single result. Next stop: Decorators. 🚀 #LearningToCode #WebDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering #JavaScript #Python #FunctionalProgramming #CodeNewbie #100DaysOfCode

🚀 Moving Beyond the "Magic": Why I Built a Web Server from Scratch When I first started backend development with Django, I felt like I was driving a luxury car without knowing what was under the hood. Django is powerful, but its layers of abstraction can sometimes feel like "magic." I knew a request went in and a response came out, but the foundational "how" was a bit of a mystery. To fix that, I decided to step away from frameworks and build a basic Web Server from scratch using Python. 🛠️ What I Learned Under the Hood: -->The Socket Layer & TCP: I moved from high-level routes to the grit of the socket module—establishing TCP connections, listening on ports, and managing the 3-way handshake. -->Byte-Stream Processing: I learned how to consume raw bytes from a connection and implement a parser to transform that binary data into a structured HTTP message (Method, URI, Headers). -->The Config Engine: Building a custom Lexer and Parser to handle configuration files, then wrapping them in high-level functions for ease of use. ->>Architectural Trade-offs: I implemented and benchmarked three different server models: -->Single-threaded blocking (The simple start). -->Multi-threaded non-blocking (Handling more at once). -->Event-driven (The secret sauce behind high-performance servers like Nginx). A huge shoutout to [Dmytro Huz] for the incredible blog post [https://lnkd.in/g6Na7F8e] that guided me through this deep dive.

"They are just trained on too much garbage information on the internet!" I was exploring a relatively vague concept in programming, specifically the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem around type-safety, and static and dynamic types, and was asking some frontier LLMs about it. I wanted to know what kind of information they're trained on. Here are the results in the screenshots I've provided below. As you can see, their answer is good but not complete, because type-safety at interpretation time is not equal to total type-safety in the program. Type-safety is simply the alignment between the type of something at runtime and interpretation or compile time. What matters is run-time, because if you annotate a type of string in your program, yet somehow pass a number or an object into it, then your program will have a big bug. Although with the extra help of TypeScript, we can make sure that a lot of these mistakes won't happen but there are some use cases, such as Forms, API responses, and 3rd party libs, that if you don't strictly check run-time types and validate the data pouring into your code, you will end up with bugs. My point here is not to give lecture about TypeScripy but to set an alarm for you if you're excessively relying on LLMs to learn, this may not be a good resource because there are just too much garbage information on the internet that LLMs will throw at you confidently because they're just token machines, not actually human-level of intelligence to determine whether what they're saying is correct or not. #typescript #javascript #frontend #llm #learn #ai #llms #intelligence #token #generation #code #program #programming #type_safety #lecture #api #form #data #information

One of the strongest muscle memories for a Django developer is the urls.py file. You get used to having a central registry where every URL in the application is defined. It’s convenient, but in massive monoliths, it often becomes a 500-line "god file" of merge conflicts. Today, I implemented routing in FastAPI, and the mental model is completely different. Instead of a top-down registry, FastAPI uses APIRouter. Think of it like building with LEGO blocks. 1. I built a "movies" router. 2. I built a main API router (the hub). 3. I plugged the hub into main.py. This forces modularity by default. I didn't touch the main application file to define my movie endpoints. I defined them in the "Movies" module, and the main app just "includes" them. It feels less like configuration and more like composition. Current Status: 1. GET /api/v1/movies is live (returning a hardcoded list for now). 2. Swagger UI is auto-generating docs for the new domain. #FastAPI #Django #CareerGrowth #SoftwareEngineering #Python #100DaysOfCode

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 I didn’t expect a Python framework to make me rethink frontend decisions. Working with Reflex feels refreshing because everything lives in one language. No jumping between JavaScript and Python. Your state, logic, and UI feel like part of the same conversation. The biggest win is clarity. State is explicit. Data flow is predictable. You’re forced to think before you build — which saves time later. But it’s not perfect. You give up some frontend flexibility. You need to unlearn a few habits if you’re coming from React. And you don’t get the entire JS ecosystem out of the box. Still, Reflex shines where structure matters more than flash. Dashboards, internal tools, data-heavy apps — places where clean state and backend thinking matter. It doesn’t try to do everything. It tries to do the right things cleanly. And honestly, that’s a trade-off I’m happy with. #Python #ReflexFramework #WebDevelopment #BackendThinking #LearningInPublic

🚨 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀! 𝗠𝗩𝗣 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵: 𝗣𝘆𝗣𝗦𝗔-𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲 ⚡ I've been pushing the boundaries of #WASM and #Python for a long time. I strongly believe there's a huge opportunity for the #Optimization community to combine these technologies and eliminate the need for complex backends and modeling languages—by taking a UI-first approach. 🎯 I talked with Maximilian Parzen and came up with this idea! The Use Case: Ship the open-source power modeling tool PyPSA in a single-page app. Users can run models by drawing configurations and share them via a simple JSON format—making adoption dramatically easier. 📊 Now here's the punchline: I built this in days using Anthropic Claude Code. 🤯 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜-𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄: 🛠️ 🍴 Fork & Explore — Start with the existing codebase, let Claude Code help understand the dependency tree and architecture 🐍➡️🌐 Pyodide Adaptation — Refactor for browser-based Python execution. Claude Code handles the tedious work of identifying incompatible dependencies and suggesting alternatives 🧪 Static HTML Testing — Deploy via GitHub Actions to validate the Pyodide build works in isolation 🎨 UI Mockup — Rapidly prototype the interface and user workflow before committing to implementation details 🚀 Full Application Build — Iterate on the complete app with AI assistance for both Python logic and frontend code Why this matters: Complex scientific Python libraries no longer need backend infrastructure. Users get instant access—no installation, no environment setup, no server costs. 💡 The real unlock isn't any single step—it's the speed of iteration. What would have been a multi-week exploration becomes a focused few-day sprint. ⏱️ 🔗 Link to the app in comments #OpenSource #PyPSA #Pyodide #ClaudeCode #EnergyTransition #WebAssembly

Building a Basic Web Application using Streamlit and VS Code About the Project: I’m excited to share my latest project where I built a web application entirely using Streamlit — a powerful Python framework that turns code into interactive web apps within minutes! Developed and tested in VS Code, this project focuses on transforming simple Python scripts into a fully functional, user-friendly web interface — without any HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. How Streamlit Makes It Happen: Streamlit provides an easy way to add text, titles, inputs, and visuals directly through Python functions. Here’s how two key functions played a major role in my project: -> st.title("App Title") This function is used to display the main heading of the web app. It helps in giving your app a clear title at the top — making it visually structured and professional. -> st.text("Description or Information") This function is used to display plain text in your app. Perfect for adding short explanations, instructions, or descriptions below headings. #Streamlit #Python #WebDevelopment #VSCode #DataScience #MachineLearning #PythonProjects #WebApp #CodingJourney #TechInnovation
