Most Python developers think they understand encapsulation. They don’t, and honestly, Python intentionally breaks what most of us were taught in Java/C++. No private No protected No compiler enforcement Yet… senior engineers still build safe, maintainable, encapsulated systems in Python. The real problem isn’t “public attributes”. It’s shared mutable state, reference leaks, and uncontrolled mutation. In this article I break down: - Why _ and __ are not about privacy - How encapsulation actually fails in real Python code - Why @property, defensive copies, immutability, and __slots__ matter - The mental model seniors use: ownership > visibility If you’ve ever said “Python has weak encapsulation”, this one might change your mind. 👉 Read here: https://lnkd.in/gYnqnefQ #python #softwarearchitecture #backend #engineering

For the past few weeks, I was confused about which language to use for DSA practice. Java? Python? What will companies prefer? Am I making the right choice? After thinking a lot, I decided to go with Python — because that’s where I can focus more on logic instead of syntax. At the end of the day, companies test problem-solving ability, not just language.

💻 New Code Commit: object oriented programming in python Worked on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) fundamentals in Python. Covered key concepts such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. Practiced creating classes and objects, defining attributes and methods, implementing inheritance and polymorphic behavior through practical examples. 🚀

this is a bit insane, sorry, "magical". true + false + true = 2 whaaaat? yes, in python, true may evaluate to 1 and false to 0. one reason for python being "magical". maybe java is not so bad overall 🙃

Does anyone have a source for the definition of "Pythonic" Python code? Part of me wishes I didn't pursue unopinionated languages -- mostly due to how other devs react to my functional coding patterns...

Most beginners write long Python code. Pros use loops. If you understand for, while, range(), and iteration — you can automate 80% of repetitive tasks. Python Loops = Real Power https://lnkd.in/d6rVtjf6

Your Python script works perfectly. Until a user enters 0. And suddenly… 💥 ZeroDivisionError 💥 Program terminated 💥 Everything stops One small input. Entire system crashed. Whose fault is it? Not the user’s. It’s ours. our job is not just to make code work it’s to make it fail safely. Users will: • Enter 0 • Enter negative values • Enter strings instead of numbers • Break assumptions we didn’t even know we had That’s why exception handling isn’t optional. It’s essential. A while back, I created a video breaking down: • Syntax vs Runtime vs Logical errors • How Python actually executes your code • Using try, except, else, finally • Creating custom exceptions • Writing defensive code this video will definitely help you understand error handling clearly. Here’s the video 👇 https://lnkd.in/gWDyx54R #Python #ErrorHandling #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #CleanCode #Coding
