§ Tolstoy's coding advice
You should only code when you feel within you some completely new and important idea, clear to you but unintelligible to others, and when the need to express this idea gives you no peace.
(code, idea) = (write, content)
§ Invert, always, invert
...it is in the nature of things that many hard problems are best solved when they are addressed backward.
"It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent." — Charlie Munger
§ I am a strange loop
In the end, we are self-perceiving, self-inventing, locked-in mirages that are little miracles of self-reference.
Future is defined by things we want to improve from our past.
§ Habits of high-functioning teams
Our communications with each other should be guided by the robustness principle: Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept.
§ Functional code is honest code
That's the goal, really. Simplify understanding. No surprises. Honest code.
Output depends only on input.
§ Advanced usage of requests
BaseUrlSession allows you to specify the base URL for the HTTP client and to only specify the resource path at the time of the request.
The opposite of requests is Falcon which lets you speak HTTP.

I should I knew Spark can read compressed gigabyte CSVs.
§ Python tips and tricks you haven't seen
I want to note that all those features are part of Python standard library, so whenever you decide to implement something in Python first go looking for it in standard library.
Improve performance of your Python program.
§ Recreating Keras from scratch
Understanding generic neural networks by building the popular AI library Keras using base Python.
I need to write this myself.
