Prompts for Code Generation with AI10AI for Developers

Prompts for Code Generation with AI

Learn to specify before you ask: scaffold approach, TDD with AI, and how to review generated code before trusting it.

Advanced function parameters in Python: defaults, *args, and **kwargs12Learn to code from scratch with Python

Advanced function parameters in Python: defaults, *args, and **kwargs

Default parameters, keyword arguments, *args, and **kwargs make your functions flexible. One of them has a trap Python doesn't warn you about before springing it.

Git configuration and optimization: settings that actually matter38Mastering Git from scratch

Git configuration and optimization: settings that actually matter

git config does a lot more than store your name and email. The right options cut daily friction, improve your diffs, and make Git behave the way you actually want it to.

Git LFS: managing large files without breaking your repository35Mastering Git from scratch

Git LFS: managing large files without breaking your repository

Git was not designed for binary files that weigh hundreds of megabytes. Git LFS solves the problem by storing pointers in your repository and keeping the actual files elsewhere.

Git Worktrees: multiple working directories from a single repository34Mastering Git from scratch

Git Worktrees: multiple working directories from a single repository

Work on multiple branches simultaneously without switching directories or stashing. Git worktree lets you have as many working environments as you need, all connected to the same repository.

Docker image optimization: from 1.2 GB to 85 MB12Mastering Docker from Scratch

Docker image optimization: from 1.2 GB to 85 MB

How to go from Docker images that weigh hundreds of MB to production images that contain exactly what they need: minimal base images, distroless, dive, and layer optimization.

BuildKit in Docker: build secrets, dependency caching, and multi-platform images11Mastering Docker from Scratch

BuildKit in Docker: build secrets, dependency caching, and multi-platform images

BuildKit, Docker's modern build engine: pass secrets safely without leaking them into image layers, cache package downloads between builds, and build for ARM and x86 from one machine.

Git hooks: automating what nobody remembers to do33Mastering Git from scratch

Git hooks: automating what nobody remembers to do

Learn how Git hooks work, which ones actually matter, and how to share them with the team using Husky, pre-commit, or lefthook.

Git submodules: repositories inside repositories without losing your mind32Mastering Git from scratch

Git submodules: repositories inside repositories without losing your mind

Learn what Git submodules are, how to add, clone, update, and remove them, and when to avoid creating a tiny .gitmodules-shaped monster.

Using AI to learn programming concepts9AI for Developers

Using AI to learn programming concepts

Learn how to use AI as a technical tutor: basic questions, the Feynman technique, ‘but why?’ chains, and exercises that prove real understanding.

Context, role, task, and format: advanced application8AI for Developers

Context, role, task, and format: advanced application

Turn RCTF into real development prompts: rich context, iterative rounds, and response formats you can plug directly into your daily workflow.

Search in Vim: find text without losing your flow7Mastering Vim from Scratch

Search in Vim: find text without losing your flow

Learn how to search in Vim with f, t, /, ?, n, N, *, # and control highlighting so you can move through code without crawling line by line.
