Hi there, When you start a new Python project, it often begins as a single file. Before you know it, that file turns into a tangle of routes, configs, and ad-hoc fixes. Scaling that into something a team can maintain is tough. In my latest video, I show you the anatomy of a scalable Python project. We’ll cover folder structure, config management, logging, testing, and how to set up pyproject.toml, .python-version, Docker, and docker-compose for smooth local and production environments. I’ll...
Hi there, You’ve probably heard of the SOLID principles... and maybe even felt guilty for not applying them more. But how useful are they really when you’re writing Python? In my latest video, I take a simple but realistic example and implement it three ways: A messy, all-in-one class that gets the job done A cleaner, class-based version that follows SOLID principles A lightweight, functional approach that may be more Pythonic In the end, the important thing is to understand where design...
Hi there, You’ve probably heard it before: "Singletons are an anti-pattern!" And… yes. They often are. Especially when they’re used to add global state to your app and create coupling and bugs. But... there’s a different side of the Singleton pattern. In this week’s video, I cover why Singletons get a bad reputation. I'll also show you a practical use case where Singleton might actually be helpful. Enjoy the video, and hope you have a great weekend. Cheers, Arjan Do you enjoy my content on...
