Final part of my #Jupyter series is live! 🐍🧪

Part 3: Real-World Code Examples

I’m sharing 4 practical ways senior engineers use notebooks:
1️⃣ API Archaeology (inspecting raw JSON)
2️⃣ Performance Audits (visualizing log latencies)
3️⃣ Algorithm Sandboxing (logic before implementation)
4️⃣ Interactive Runbooks (safe, documented migrations)

It’s "Literate DevOps" in action.

Jupyter, ChatGPT, Copilot (Part 3): Real-World Code Examples

This is Part 3 of a series on modern development workflows. Part 1: The Strategic Value of Thinking in Notebooks and Part 2: The Technical Guide to Jupyter Setup set the stage. Now, let’s look at actual code. In the previous parts, we discussed why Jupyter is a “thinking environment.” In this final part, we’ll walk through four concrete scenarios where a notebook outperforms a traditional IDE for a senior engineer. 1. API Archaeology: Mapping the Unknown When you’re dealing with a complex API, you don’t want to build a full client just to see what the data looks like.

New post: The Technical Guide to Jupyter Setup (Part 2 of my series).

If you're still doing pip install jupyter and committing JSON blobs to Git, there's a better way.

I'm diving into:
✅ Using #uv for fast envs.
✅ #Jupytext for pairing notebooks with .py files.
✅ Professional project hierarchies.
✅ #VSCode integration for #Copilot users.

Treat your research like production code.

Jupyter, ChatGPT, Copilot (Part 2): The Technical Guide to Jupyter Setup

This is Part 2 of a three-part series. In Part 1: The Strategic Value of Thinking in Notebooks, we discussed why and when to use Jupyter. Here, we dive into the technical implementation. Part 3: Real-World Code Examples covers practical use cases. The Modern Jupyter Stack For a software engineer, the “standard” way of installing Jupyter (global pip install) is often the wrong way. It leads to dependency hell and “it works on my machine” syndrome.

Ever wondered where #Jupyter fits in a traditional software dev workflow?

It’s not a language, and it’s not an IDE. It’s a thinking environment.

I just posted Part 1 of a series on how to chain #ChatGPT, Jupyter, and #Copilot together to move from "I don't know yet" to "Production ready."

🧪 Advisor vs. Workbench vs. Power Tool.

Jupyter, ChatGPT, Copilot (Part 1): The Strategic Value of Thinking in Notebooks

This is Part 1 of a three-part series on modern development workflows. In this part, we explore the conceptual and strategic role of Project Jupyter. Part 2: The Technical Guide to Jupyter Setup covers installation and environment management, and Part 3: Real-World Code Examples shows it in action. If you come from a traditional software engineering background (frontend, backend, systems), chances are you’ve seen Project Jupyter everywhere — notebooks, extensions, cloud platforms — and thought:

Under the hood, this boost comes from the refreshed stack in Manjaro 25.1 “Anh-Linh”: new 6.18 kernel, updated Mesa/Vulkan, and newer NVIDIA drivers all working together. Hybrid Intel Arc + RTX behaves much smarter now, with better power management and smoother PRIME offload, so both desktop and games feel significantly more responsive. 🚀 #Linux #Manjaro

Manjaro 25.1 “Anh-Linh” just breathed new life into my ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 (Ultra 9 + RTX 3050 + Intel Arc) — battery now lasts noticeably longer and games run way smoother, all with zero extra tweaking. Massive props to the Manjaro team for this update, everything finally feels *right* out of the box. 🔋🎮 #Manjaro #LinuxGaming

Conditioned Taste Aversion

Conditioned taste aversion, sometimes called the Garcia effect in honor of John Garcia who first described its unusual properties, is a powerful and fascinating form of learning. It is not only an interesting phenomenon in behavioral science, it also matters a great deal in medicine, nutrition, oncology, pediatrics, and everyday life. This long-form post explains what conditioned taste aversion is, how and why it happens, how to recognize it, the problems it can cause, ways to prevent and manage it, how it differs from allergies and other food-related issues, and where to look for more detailed scientific and clinical information.

How to Debug an Electronic Device That Won't Power Up: A Step-by-Step Guide for Board-Level Repair

When an electronic device refuses to power up, it can be frustrating for anyone, but for someone with a bit of electronics knowledge, it becomes a challenge to solve. The issue could be as simple as a faulty capacitor or as complex as a damaged integrated circuit (IC). This guide provides an in-depth, step-by-step approach for debugging a device at the board level. We’ll walk you through checking key components such as capacitors, transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits (ICs), explaining what each does, how to test them, and how to interpret the results. By the end, you should have a clear process for diagnosing and potentially fixing a dead device.
