Development

Learn Python in a browser through nine chapters, practical exercises and quizzes. Build an in-memory study-session tracker. Created with Tai, Mentai’s AI learning guide; AI-assisted lessons and synthetic narration.

Replace verbose try/except/pass patterns with contextlib.suppress to make intentional exception suppression readable and precise.

Design management commands that can be safely re-run in any environment without creating duplicates, side effects, or partial database state.

Implement Django's clean() method to validate business rules at the ORM layer so invalid data is rejected regardless of how the model is saved.

Create a drop-in server-side pagination partial using HTMX and Django's Paginator so list pages update inline without writing any JavaScript.

Split settings into a base file and environment-specific files so configuration is clean, environment variables are explicit, and nothing leaks between environments.
