I created my own concise quick reference guide / cheat sheet for debugging anything. The free PDF guide has ten steps, and each step has a simple Python example to illustrate it, and there’s a space to write notes about the system or bug you are currently working on.

For the first python web app I created, most of the tricky parts and learning came with trying to deploy it to a server, which result in lots of trial and error, and writing down a huge long list of… Continue Reading →
Github Actions is a CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) service built into Github. It makes code deployment as easy as pushing to a github repo. I’ve previously used Zappa which also has a fast way to deploy (and could… Continue Reading →
One of the features of spreadsheets I’ve always found useful is conditional formatting. You can easily highlight if a value is above or below a certain amount, for example to highlight negative figures. This can can dramatically improve readability. I… Continue Reading →
