What is luck?
It's when you finally have some free time, but then you get sick.
If you had the opportunity to choose among three options, which one would you select?
- Teaching programming
- Building trading bots
- Building SaaS

Did you know loops have an else option? It's unusual, and I recommend not using it, but it's good to know it exists.

I've noticed that my Telegram Bot isn't profitable. More importantly, I've lost interest in its development. It's no longer enjoyable.
The plan is to close the project and free up time for new ones.
Closing even small projects is a sad thing.

18.10.2025 15:04 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Today is Friday, and I'm on vacation. However, we still need to talk about #Python.
Did you know that Python has a function to check if an object is callable? This is particularly useful when building tricky tools.
Isn't it nice?

15.10.2025 14:58 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My biggest mistake about trading crypto, stocks, and ETFs was that I thought it's easy to trade for 20-30 minutes each day in the evening. You won't be successful if you don't spend more time.
However, what really works is if you just buy reliable assets like index funds, ETFs, Bitcoin (maybe).
The most common mistake of every software engineer is overcomplicating things.

See the code screenshot? It triggers an exception because the variable is local due to its assignment at the end. So, you can't access it before assigning a value. Tricky, right?
Now you know. Stay sharp!
It's hard to work with the same volume of data at home as in a company. Handling gigabytes or even terabytes is fun.

I wonder if I should focus on sharing knowledge instead.
