Here’s what to think about: dependencies, code quality, workflow, credentials — Building good software follows specific rules and enforces industry standards. Bust how does that reflect on a real-life codebase? In this post, I’ll show you 4 tools I set up in my Python projects in order to streamline the development workflow and enforce some best practices. These tools helped me…

And I might not be the only one — You can now subscribe to my new Substack newsletter to get exclusive content on Machine Learning, Data Engineering and Programming. It’s free and you’ll get the same content I usually put in Medium behind the paywall. Enjoy. Some context first I have been writing on Medium for +3 years and it’s been a…

Add built-in behaviors to custom objects with a few lines of code — If you’re a Python developer, you may have probably encountered these special methods that start and end with double underscores “__” such as __init__, __len__, or __getitem__ . These methods are funnily named dunders and are also referred to as magic methods because they are executed in a non-standard way…

Code less while coding better by following these tricks — Python is easy to write and understand but you can quickly use it the wrong way and jump into a minefield of anti-patterns. This post curates a list of 21 concise tips that improve your code readability and efficiency. They are drawn from personal projects, thorough code reviews, and inspiring…

Designing and implementing this system with Langchain — With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs), it’s now possible to hold a human-like conversation with a bot on a wide variety of topics. This is an unprecedented innovation that made pre-2022 chatbots obsolete. In fact, with systems like ChatGPT, we’ve witnessed improvements such as enhanced linguistic capabilities (including…

Let more people try out your app — even if it’s a CLI — I like building Python-based Command Line (CLI) applications. It’s probably my geeky part that speaks. However, some would say that these special programs lack UX and aesthetics to make them more engaging and less intimidating to a larger audience. This is somehow true. Wouldn’t be great for example to add…

Commit your code with peace of mind — If you’re a Python developer, you may frequently come across situations where your team members have different coding styles that make the codebase inconsistent. As a result, this leads to bugs, decreases productivity, and makes collaboration difficult. As someone who strives to maintain code quality, I know how painful this…

BentoML is Like Lego for ML engineers — In this post, we will guide you through the process of building a voice-based ChatGPT clone that relies on the OpenAI API and uses Wikipedia as an additional data source. To build and deploy this app, we’ll be using BentoML: a Python framework for model serving and deployment. BentoML not…

An end-to-end use-case combining PyTorch Lightning and BentoML — As an ML engineer, I often encounter two main challenges when working with deep learning models in production. The first one is the need to rewrite boilerplate code for each project to handle tasks like training loops, data loading, or metric computation. As this work often makes the codebase more…
