New Dev Here. I Feel Guilty Using Libraries to Build My Projects
“So here’s the thing. I’m building some cool web apps and have a pretty good understanding of what I’m doing. However, I always feel kinda guilty because I didn’t build 100% of it from scratch. I used various libraries to achieve certain functionality. It’s like I cheated my way to completion by using these libraries. Is this normal or am I overthinking?”

Better Notebooks Through CI: Automatically Testing Documentation for Graph Machine Learning
Building a data science library is walking between two worlds: data science is dominated by Python notebooks, a fast and convenient way to experiment and demonstrate code in the browser, while software engineering focuses on making software reliable and repeatable. Learn how StellarGraph, a graph machine learning library built on Tensorflow and Keras, uses continuous integration to keep the benefits of both.

HPy: A Future-Proof Way of Extending Python?
“HPy is a joint project which is being developed by PyPy, CPython and Cython developers. It aims to design a better C API for writing Python extensions which is more friendly to alternative implementations and which would allow CPython itself more freedom to experiment (e.g. by using a real GC instead of refcounting).”

Git Worktrees and Pyenv: Developing Python Libraries Faster
Workin on a large project means lots of context switches. During a single day, you may need to do review others’ pull requests, respond to code reviews on your own pull requests, work on features, apply small patches. Huon Wilson shares his workflow for minimizing the pain of these context switches using git worktrees and pyenv.
