Each log message in the system should be unique.

If I query for a log in a specfic service, I will be confused to see the exact same logs at different flows inside the service.

More than that, I’ll just have to start debugging for the issue, since the logs are now offically useless.

One way to keep the logs unique is to denote the service name and fu... See more

More than reading popular books on Design Patterns, two things that helped me write and structure a large codebase better were

reading a lot of good open source codebases (with similar stack)coding and collaborating a lot on the same codebase

I understand the importance of reading general-purpose design patterns, but they might not suit your programm... See more

Comments are helpful sometimes. But sometimes, they are just an indication of bad code.The proper use of comments is to compensate for our failure to express ourself in code [1].Whenever you have to add a comment in your code, ask yourself if it is really required or if you could instead put that into a new function and name the function so that it...

• Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library designed for handling long-lived network connections. It is built to be non-blocking and uses an event loop to manage all operations. While Tornado itself does not rely on a thread pool for its core operations, it provides interfaces for integrating with thread pools (e.g., conc

How to build this skill:

• Maximize what you can do on your own: by ruthlessly prioritizing your time, pushing back on activities that have small ROI, and focusing on areas where your input is crucial; for engineers, it often means less coding (if more junior people can do that piece of coding).


• How you can maximize what you can do through others: b

factory_boy

factory_boy is a fixtures replacement based on thoughtbot's factory_bot.

As a fixtures replacement tool, it aims to replace static, hard to maintain fixtures with easy-to-use factories for complex objects.

Instead of building an exhaustive test setup with every possible combination of corner cases, factory_boy allows you to use objects cu... See more

A thread pool is a collection of pre-initialized threads that can be used to execute tasks. Instead of starting a new thread for each task (which can be resource-intensive), a thread from this pool is reused to perform the task. This approach is beneficial for handling multiple operations in parallel, especially when these operations are blocking a... See more

Problem : Tight coupling leads to fragility - a change in one microservice breaks connected services.

Low cohesion results in unclear responsibilities.

• Solution : Apply loose coupling and high cohesion. In a loosely coupled system, each component is independent and changes in one will not affect the others. High cohesion means that each component i
