Backend systems, automation, data pipelines, and production Python. From building Discord bots to understanding the language's real strengths and limitations.
Enumerations (Enums) provide a powerful way to represent a set of named values. Enums bring clarity, maintainability, and readability to code by replacing numeric or string constants with
asyncio isn't magic. It's a while loop that checks a queue. Once you understand the event loop model, async/await stops being confusing and starts being the most useful tool in your Python kit. Here's the mental model, the real code, and the mistakes that will ruin your day.
How many total websites do you think there is on the internet? According to recent estimates, there is around 1.10 billion websites. This is also with new
Key generation works, encryption round-trips, the math is provably right — and an attacker can still recover the private key by timing your decryptions. Here are both defenses, measured, with what they actually cost.
Part 1 used 15-bit primes and only encrypted integers. Making it usable means generating 1024-bit primes and chunking bytes — and the standard way to do the second one silently destroys data on inputs the tests never cover.
Every HTTPS connection you have ever made runs on a 1978 paper. You can build the core of it in about fifty lines of Python — and then see exactly why those fifty lines would get you destroyed in production.
