Earlier in the year, we explored Pygamehttps://dev.to/jeffrey04/my-pygame-evolution-embracing-asyncio-and-immutability-for-scalable-design-g55 by writing a simple tic-tac-toe gamehttps://dev.to/jeffrey04/the-pygame-framework-i-didnt-plan-building-tic...

“What can we do with asynchronous programming?”, This was one of the questions I received in my talk on asynchronous programming that I delivered in Pycon MYhttps://kitfucoda.medium.com/from-blog-post-to-pycon-my-one-week-crash-course-in-public-speak...

If you were to deliver a talk in a conference for Ruby engineers, what would the topic be? That was a question I asked my supervisor during PyCon MYhttps://www.pycon.my/ 2025. He eventually answered that he did not have a topic. Somehow it didn’t sur...

In the last articlehttps://kitfucoda.medium.com/beyond-rbenv-and-pyenv-achieving-reproducible-dev-setups-with-nix-04b610175a59, we discussed the evolution of my development setup, focusing on how it became reproducible over time. It was originally wr...

Setting up a development environment is a painful process, as I discussed previouslyhttps://kitfucoda.medium.com/from-dotfile-hacks-to-open-source-my-development-environment-evolution-a771ea7bf8a8 when detailing how mine evolved to the combination of...

Over the last weekend, I spent some time mucking around with Pygamehttps://www.pygame.org/news. Despite facing some challenges along the way, I ended up with a working prototype. There was neither design nor specification drafted for the project. Non...

Maintaining a blog is a lot of work, especially when it comes to finding new ideas. Over the weekend, I explored Pygamehttps://www.pygame.org/news by building a simple game. I was very humbled by the experience throughout the build. Aha, this explora...

Let’s talk about setting up a development machine for work today. If there is one thing techies love talking about, it’s our setup. Some take enormous pride in how they fine-tuned the process to perfection, often involving fancy or unusual components...

Last week, we talked about removing hardcoded synchronization primitiveshttps://kitfucoda.medium.com/telegram-chatbots-evolution-decoupling-parallel-python-s-shared-state-for-clarity-e76880ce9b1f. The refactoring was prompted by my revision to a take...

After building the intro animationhttps://kitfucoda.medium.com/code-rains-revelation-embracing-existence-before-perfection-60f5c641963a last week,https://kitfucoda.medium.com/code-rains-revelation-embracing-existence-before-perfection-60f5c641963a, I...

I would like to start this article by thanking the editorial team of JavaScript in Plain Englishhttps://javascript.plainenglish.io/ for featuring my previous articlehttps://medium.com/p/99f68dd05f09 on setting up a LLM chatbot as my editorhttps://dev...

When I was building a quick frontend to the LLM gamehttps://dev.to/jeffrey04/i-built-a-word-guessing-game-with-llm-357, I used jQueryhttps://jquery.com/ to quickly whip out a prototype. Only after I was happy with it, I ported the code to the modern ...

Last week, we reimplemented our 20-questions varianthttps://dev.to/jeffrey04/leveling-up-llm-game-development-with-dspy-356c, and it received quite a bit of attention. So far we built a web experience, as well as a command line interface for the game...

After completing the series on asynchronous programminghttps://dev.to/jeffrey04/concurrency-vs-parallelism-achieving-scalability-with-processpoolexecutor-1n7n, I needed some time off to deal with the stress in life. During the break, I decided to exp...

In our previous exploration, we dove deep into AsyncIO by writing a task schedulerhttps://dev.to/jeffrey04/asyncio-task-management-a-hands-on-scheduler-project-2e54. We discovered how IO-bound operations were scheduled to the event loop concurrently ...

We discussed Awaitables last weekhttps://dev.to/jeffrey04/understanding-awaitables-coroutines-tasks-and-futures-in-python-gk7. The article covered coroutines, tasks and futures as well as a quick introduction to the event loop. Let’s build an example...

Previously, we explored chatbot building with AsyncIOhttps://dev.to/jeffrey04/how-to-write-an-asyncio-telegram-bot-in-python-4hig. As I am committing to publish one article a week, I am constantly on the lookout for new ideas. Then I figured it may b...

I am almost one year into my current relationship. It is hard to believe how fast time flies, until I look into our photo archive. Being an enthusiastic photographer, my partner captured moments of us together. However, the increasing stack of photos...
