nhgiang··on AI is a weapon to surpass Metal Gear
It can't be...
nhgiang··on Ask HN: How soon until tech giants use altered family/friends photos in ads?
If I was a Google exec I'd definitely jot this down.
nhgiang··on Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?
Wordpress: Least learning curve, hard to customise down the line.

Flask: Deceivingly simple at first, but you'll spend full-time debugging it soon. It is NOT a framework for beginner.

Django: A bit more learning curve than WP, but will take you far, if you read its docs properly.

nhgiang··on Ask HN: How can I get better at writing production-level Python?
RealPython.com

Learn all about pytest and how to use its fixtures well.

Mypy for use in conjunction with type annotations for static analysis.

Packaging: Python-poetry.org

Personally, I recommend Deal (design by contract) and/or Hypothesis (property-based testing) libraries, too.

Controversial opinion: Stay away from Flask and all of its derivations. That framework is badly designed. Learn from Django instead.
