You Might Not Need That Provider SDK
Provider SDKs often pull in dozens of dependencies when a simple HTTP request to the API would do.
Automation is where I spend most of my time, but underneath all of it sits plain software development, and this is the area where I write about the craft itself. Here you find articles on programming languages, tooling, design patterns, and the everyday decisions that separate code that merely works from code you can still live with six months later. This section is a hub, which means it branches into focused sub-areas. In Python I cover the language I reach for whenever I need to script a task, automate a workflow, glue systems together, or process data quickly, always with an eye on clean, readable code. In Swift I dig into building for Apple platforms, from language fundamentals to the patterns that keep an app maintainable as it grows in size and ambition. Both reflect how I build in practice rather than textbook theory.
