When I was working on debugging a PyFlink job running inside a Docker container, I encountered a significant challenge: accessing and monitoring logs directly from my host machine. Traditional logging methods proved cumbersome, making it difficult to trace issues effectively. To overcome this hurdle, I decided to implement a custom Python logger that sends log
When working on Android projects, managing dependencies efficiently is crucial for maintaining a clean and scalable codebase. Recently, I encountered a warning in my Gradle build file that prompted me to rethink my dependency management strategy. The warning read: “Use version catalog instead More… (⌘F1) Inspection info: If your project is using a libs.versions.toml file,
When I embarked on my journey into Android development, I quickly realized that a significant portion of example code and tutorials relied heavily on XML for designing user interfaces. As a newcomer, this initially felt overwhelming, especially when trying to adapt these XML-based examples to modern development practices. However, I discovered that Jetpack Compose has
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are becoming increasingly essential in today’s web development landscape. With their ability to combine the best features of web and mobile apps, they’re a fantastic choice for modern developers. If you’re working with Vite and React, you’re already leveraging tools that emphasize speed and efficiency. Now, let’s make your app a
When working on modern web applications, performance is often a key concern, and images are a frequent culprit in slowing things down. Lazy loading images is one effective strategy to improve your app’s performance by only loading images as they are needed. However, handling situations where an image fails to load is just as important
Building a feature-rich web application often requires simple yet effective solutions. One such example is managing uploaded images in memory, specifically camera screenshots. Here, I’ll walk you through how to create an Express.js endpoint that stores and retrieves screenshots from memory. This setup is ideal when you want lightweight, temporary storage for uploaded files without
Building a seamless connection between a TypeScript application and a C# application can feel like bridging two worlds. Both languages have strong typing capabilities, but ensuring that they adhere to the same contract can be challenging. In my experience, the best approach is to define a shared schema that governs the data structures and enforce
Testing is one of those steps in software development that separates a hobby project from a professional one. Whether you’re building something small or maintaining a complex codebase, testing ensures your code does what it’s supposed to do. If you’re new to testing in Python, pytest is one of the easiest tools to get started
One of the most exciting moments in a development project is sharing your work with others. If you’re building an app with Socket.IO, whether for real-time messaging, notifications, or interactive applications, you’ll eventually want to make your local setup accessible to the public. This allows collaborators, testers, or clients to interact with your app without
Have you ever run into the frustrating problem of your script not finding the file it’s supposed to read? I know I have, especially when moving a project between environments or sharing it with a teammate. One key lesson I’ve learned is to always rely on relative paths that adapt to the script’s location. This
When I first stumbled upon the need to show differences between strings in a Git-like format, I wasn’t sure where to start. The idea seemed daunting—how could I highlight additions, removals, and changes in a clear, color-coded way? Luckily, Python’s difflib module came to the rescue. What started as a challenge turned into a rewarding
When I first started working with Python, one of the most common tasks I encountered was searching for a specific string in a list (or array) of strings. Whether it was looking up a username, checking for keywords, or validating input, this task came up over and over again. Thankfully, Python offers several easy and
