What's wrong with this Python account transfer?
What's wrong with this Python account transfer in production. The Python code updates two balances without a transaction, so crashes leave money missing or duplicated. In Python finance services this creates inconsistent ledgers.

Why is this Python cache a security risk?
Why is this Python cache a security risk in production. The Python code unpickles data from a client controlled source, which can execute arbitrary code. In Python services this is a remote code execution vulnerability.

Why does this Python cache serve the wrong language?
Why does this Python cache serve the wrong language in production. The Python code caches responses without locale in the key, so users see another language. In Python APIs this becomes a localization incident.

Modern Good Practices for Python Development
An outline of best practices for #Python development, including using tools like #pyenv, #pipx or Development Containers for managing Python versions. It also recommends using pyproject.toml for project configuration, virtual environments for package management, and tools like Black, #Ruff, and #pytest for code formatting, linting, and testing.

Hey #python developers. How do you keep your docstrings DRY? When I find myself copying same part of a docstring to 7 places after introducing a new parameter I wonder if it could be made somehow better 🤔
