From Idea to Reality: How I Built My Own Personal AI Assistant Web App Do you ever wish you could have a personal AI assistant like Tony Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S. or Iron Man’ F.R.I.D.A.Y to help you with your tasks,

Unleashing the power of AI with 10 lines of Python Code that will help you create your very own memory palace. Are you tired of forgetting important details or struggling to recall critical information when you need it the most? If so, you are not alone. Memory retention is a

An X-days plan to become the best technical manager I can be. After a lot of pondering, I think I am ready to make the announcement that I am transitioning from a software engineer to an engineering manager. I know, I know, I am surprised too. I always saw myself

Tombstones are created in Cassandra whenever you delete some data. In simple terms, tombstones are pretty much the same as the row of data you just deleted with the addition of a special “delete” marker that tells the database that the data has been deleted. So let’s say you

Cassandra is a distributed database that support incredible write throughout and is known for its scalability and availability. It’s great at supporting applications with very high write throughput. To achieve this high performance, Cassandra has a unique write pattern. Cassandra has a few different data structures that it uses:

As software engineers, the first thing we ever learn when learning a new programming language is how to print out “Hello World” in the console. Fast forward a few months from that day, and now that we are so familiar with the language and we know all of its intricacies

Python gives you some very handy functions that you can use to sort efficiently. You can even chain sorts so that for the same data, you have a primary sort and then a secondary sort within that. So, without further ado, let’s get started. Sorting Fundamentals The two primary

Python is one of the most versatile programming languages that are out there. From declarative programming to object-oriented programming to functional programming, Python incorporates approaches from multiple programming languages. In this article, I will focus on writing functional code using Python. When people think about functional programming using Python, they

Designing data models in Cassandra can be tricky if you are coming from a Relational Databases background. Even though Cassandra tries it best to draw parallels to relational databases when it comes to terminologies, I feel like it becomes more misleading. Of course CQL (Cassandra Query Language) being so similar

There are multiple types of keys in Cassandra. Namely: 1. Primary Key 2. Partitioning Key 3. Clustering Key Let’s go over each of these to understand them better. Primary Key Each table requires a primary key. A primary key can be either one field or multiple fields combined. The

Building a production grade web application from scratch is no easy feat. Not only do you have to make sure that the programming language, framework and database you chose fits your type of application, you also have to worry about deploying and maintaing the application. In my short software engineering

Docker has always been a mystery to me. I always knew about the buzz around containerization and Docker but looking at the configuration files and reading articles about how it worked always freaked me out. Most importantly, I knew that I was being able to do everything I wanted to
