🚀 Day 14 of 100 Days LeetCode Challenge Problem: The K-th Lexicographical String of All Happy Strings of Length n Today’s problem is a perfect blend of Backtracking + Lexicographical Ordering 🔥 💡 Key Insight: A happy string: Uses only 'a', 'b', 'c' No two adjacent characters are the same 👉 Instead of generating all strings blindly, we: Build valid strings using backtracking Maintain lexicographical order naturally 🔍 Core Approach: 1️⃣ Backtracking (DFS) Start building string character by character At each step: Choose from 'a', 'b', 'c' Skip if same as previous character 2️⃣ Lexicographical Order Always try characters in order: 'a' → 'b' → 'c' 3️⃣ Stop Early Once we reach the k-th string, stop recursion 👉 If total strings < k → return "" 🔥 What I Learned Today: Backtracking is powerful for constraint-based generation Ordering decisions early helps avoid extra sorting Early stopping = major optimization 📈 Challenge Progress: Day 14/100 ✅ 2 weeks strong!

🚀 Day 89 – Behind the Scenes of My Project Today, I want to share what usually doesn’t get posted — the real process behind building a project. Because what you see is the final output, but the journey behind it is something else. 🔹 What actually happens behind the scenes • Writing code → errors → fixing → new errors 😅 • Spending hours on a bug caused by a small mistake • Changing approach multiple times before getting it right • Testing the same feature again and again • Learning something new almost every day 🔹 Reality of development It’s not just about writing code — it’s about: ✔ Patience ✔ Consistency ✔ Problem-solving ✔ Not giving up when things don’t work 🔹 Key realization Every working feature you see is backed by hours of confusion, debugging, and learning. 📌 Day 89 — respecting the process, not just the result. #90DaysOfPython #BehindTheScenes #DeveloperLife #CodingReality #LearningInPublic

"5 Agent Skill design patterns every developer should know" Great new write-up https://lnkd.in/gW6uWMhB from Shubham Saboo and Lavi Nigam on our teams! After studying how agent skills are built across the ecosystem - from Anthropic's repos to Vercel and Google's internal guidelines - they identified five patterns that keep showing up in well-designed agents: 1. Tool wrapper - loads library-specific context on demand, so your agent doesn't carry conventions it doesn't need 2. Generator - enforces consistent document structure using templates + style guides, instead of hoping the model picks the same format twice 3. Reviewer - separates what to check from how to check it, making your rubric swappable without touching the skill logic 4. Inversion - flips the dynamic: the agent interviews you before building anything, refusing to synthesize until it has complete context 5. Pipeline - strict sequential workflow with hard checkpoints and gate conditions that prevent the agent from skipping steps The most useful insight: these patterns compose. A Pipeline can include a Reviewer at the end. A Generator can open with an Inversion phase. ADK's SkillToolset means your agent only loads what it actually needs at runtime. Stop cramming complex workflows into a single system prompt. Structure the content rather than just the format. If you would like to build smarter agents using your skills, check out the Google Agent Development Kit. It supports TypeScript, Python, Go and more. #ai #programming #softwareengineering

Don't over engineer your AI Agents, instead focus on making it simple enough to do one task well. Makes tracing and monitoring a lot more doable when you know what steps your AI Agent takes to complete a task.

This is a great breakdown of how real-world agents are evolving. These patterns highlight a shift : from prompting behavior → to designing workflows. Prompts alone don’t scale. Pipelines, validation layers, and control flow do. #agenticai #rag #ai #google #machinelearning

Solid breakdown of 5 agent skill design patterns every developer should know—great scaffolding for more predictable and maintainable agentic workflows.

Coding agents just generate slop faster.  Stop dumping your entire codebase into a context window. Break work into small tasks, write a short design doc a human actually reads, and review the code. If you outsource thinking to the model you'll spend more time debugging generated garbage than you saved.

🚀 Day 5 of 100 Days LeetCode Challenge Problem: Minimum Changes To Make Alternating Binary String Today’s problem is a perfect example of pattern comparison + greedy thinking. 💡 Key Insight: An alternating string can only be in two possible forms: "010101..." "101010..." 🔍 Approach: Compare the given string with both patterns Count mismatches for each pattern The minimum mismatch count = minimum operations required 👉 No need for complex logic—just check both possibilities and pick the best. 🔥 What I Learned Today: Always check if a problem has limited possible patterns Comparing with ideal cases can simplify logic Greedy approach helps in minimizing operations quickly 📈 Challenge Progress: Day 5/100 ✅ Strong consistency!
