A few notes on scaling AI (inspired by The Zen of Python) #scaling #infrastructure #softwareengineering #learnprogramming
When it comes to the programming adage “Speed, Quality, Price: Choose Two” I tend to prefer low price. Perhaps it’s the influence that the Zen of Python has had on me, or perhaps it’s simply the trend of software to outpace hardware when it comes to improving efficiency.
Learn a bit about how abstractions work in the programming of computers. Abstractions are a a form of indirection that lets us use any subprogram that fits a set of properties required by a superprogram. We'll see some examples of the different ways these abstractions occur across programming languages of various levels.

If you ever consider learning to code and think about doing it with
Webmasters Europe - just don't!
It''s the worst way of learning. The didactic is a nightmare.
It's literally like:
Theory: "You need eggs, flour and milk to bake a cake."
Test: "Now you try: Bake a three-tier-wedding cake with angels and chocolate frosting"

Unfortunately, I've been programming in Python professionally for 25 years, and personally for 30, which makes me spectacularly out of date on how to learn Python from scratch today.
Back in the day, I frequently recommended people start with the basic tutorial included in the Python official documentation. It was well written and not too difficult for a beginner, even someone new to programming in any language. After that, you could go on to various books (I'm old...); the tutorial got you started, but didn't get you all the way to "design and implement my first useful program".
Others here can probably give better and more recent recommendations for online tutorials, YouTube video series, or even (gasp) books. Adding some tags...
