Python is not that bad performer , but .... I was delivering a session on #Rust for an #analytics team (not mentioning the company name , dont want to disclouse their stack). I said Rust can be 20x–200x faster than #Python for many workloads. Someone challenged that with a real example: 15M records Python: 44s (Using #pandas) Rust: 39s (using #polars) Fair question: why such a small difference? Because in analytics, Python often isn’t doing the work. Libraries like #NumPy / Pandas execute in #C/#C++ and vectorized code. If the workload is already optimized or memory-bound, Rust has limited headroom. Rust shines when: Tight loops Custom algorithms CPU-bound, low-latency pipelines Lesson learned: Changing the #technology stack can yield great results, but it’s never automatic. #Performance depends on many factors, not just the language. What do you say?
Rust outperforms Python in analytics workloads

Some scripts run. Some scale. That difference hit home while reading this 👇 🧠 “Professional code isn’t about cleverness. It’s about predictability.” For a long time, my Python scripts worked… but felt fragile. The shift wasn’t more syntax — it was better libraries and better thinking. 🔧 Tools like: pathlib → clean, cross-platform file handling loguru → real logging beyond print() A mindset of structure first, failures second, scale always Small choices. Big upgrade. From “it runs on my machine” to “this could ship.” 🚀 If you’re automating with Python, boring + predictable beats clever every time. #Python #Automation #SoftwareEngineering #CleanCode #DeveloperGrowth #LearningEveryday

As developers, our most valuable asset is Time. Why write 100 lines of code when a library can do it in 1 line? I curated 10 Python libraries that I use to build AI apps faster and better. Here are my top picks from the slides: Streamlit: Turned my Python scripts into web apps instantly. No HTML needed. Rich: Because staring at black-and-white terminal logs is boring. Icecream: The smartest way to debug (Goodbye print("test")) Typer: Building CLIs has never been this beautiful. (Swipe through the carousel to see all 10 gems 👉) 💡 Pro Tip: If you are building data apps, Streamlit is a non-negotiable tool in 2026. #Python #SoftwareEngineering #Productivity #AI #DataScience #CodingBestPractices #MuthukumarPl #CodeWithMK

Two numbers. Same math. Different answers. 🤯 Copy code Python x = 10**100 y = 10**100 + 1 print(x == y) Output: False Python handles this without blinking. No overflow. No precision loss. Now watch this: Python a = 1e16 b = a + 1 print(a == b) Output: True At this scale, adding 1 changes nothing. The value is already beyond what a float can accurately represent. Integers in Python grow as large as memory allows. Floats live within fixed precision and range boundaries. Same language. Same operator. Very different realities. Next time a number behaves “strangely”, remember — it’s not a bug, it’s a boundary. #Python #DataScience #ProgrammingInsights #NumericalComputing #TechThoughts

Publishing Pipeline - Refactoring ## From a One-Off Script to a Publishing Platform ### Three Weeks of Refactoring, Learning Python, and Building Something That Scales Three weeks ago, my publishing “pipeline” was exactly what many automation projects start as: a single Python script, built to solve a single problem, for a single platform. It worked — until it didn’t. Today, that script has evolved into a modular, extensible publishing platform that can target multiple services, reuse logic cleanly, and grow without collapsing under its own weight. Along the way, I learned more about Python, architecture, and disciplined automation than I had in the previous three years combined. #automation #devops #python Read more: https://lnkd.in/d-X3CtzD https://lnkd.in/d-X3CtzD

Strings are everywhere in Python, and mastering string methods makes your code cleaner, faster, and more efficient. This visual covers commonly used Python string methods like: Case conversion (upper(), lower(), title()) Searching & counting (find(), index(), count()) Validation checks (isdigit(), isalpha(), islower()) Formatting & alignment (format(), center(), ljust(), rjust()) Cleaning & splitting (strip(), replace(), split()) These methods are extremely useful in Data Analytics, Data Cleaning, and Text Processing. #Python #DataAnalytics #PythonProgramming #LearningPython #DataScience #Coding #Developer #Analytics

Day 20/30: Automating the Mundane with Python 🤖 I’m currently on Day 20 of my 30-day Python journey, and today’s project was all about Leverage. I built a Price Tracker & Automation Bot designed to monitor multiple URLs, clean incoming data (handling those tricky encoding bugs!), and log price history to a persistent CSV file. Key Learnings: - Data Integrity: Real-world web data is messy. Robust cleaning is the difference - between a broken script and a working tool. - Scalability: Moving from single-item tracking to multi-URL loops. - Automation: Why BeautifulSoup remains a staple for rapid tool-building. Project 23 of 30 is in the books. Seven more to go! Check out the source code here: https://lnkd.in/d3NmAchr #Python #SoftwareEngineering #Automation #WebScraping #BuildInPublic #LearningToCode
