Week 5 Journal

Learning

1. yt-watch-history: After 3 iterations I have understand how to deal with ML models.
2. yt-watch-history: New PR for channel_reco in frontend. This PR just take subscription data and shows the recommendation of selected channel.

Thoughts

1. PROJECT IDEA: I am thinking about to create a Python Package from which you can scrape website using cURL.
2. In yt-watch-history, I don’t want to give so much time on frontend instead more focus on backend.

CRITICISM: If you don’t focus on frontend then it is bad to present and maintain. That’s why you should also take care of frontend part.

Week 6 Journal

Learning

1. campusx: I have built new project where you can get all the notes and links provided in the description of sessions of DSMP course.
   • I have created this in almost 3 days.
   • Done many things like follow conventional commits, written tests and more. See here
2. I have released v0.1.0 of campusx but I use 🤖 ChatGPT to generate release note (using all commits) and I don’t think that it is good release note like I see for other projects.
3. 🤓 I want to learn how to write and manage Release Notes and CHANGELOG.

Thoughts

1. Conventional Commits: For a long time I have been thinking about to follow a convention for GIT commits but where-ever I check I don’t understand then I came across vivaxy.vscode-conventional-commits a VSCode extension and now I know how to write better commits. 😉
2. Mkdocs: mkdocs-material is a very powerful tool to create static web pages using markdowns.
3. 🎉 The Open Source Contributions of Indians ft. @ApnaCollege.
4. I am thinking about to switch to pixi or rye because I also want to manage my projects like never before; like professional 🤯.

Week 7 Journal

Learning

1. rye: My new way to manage projects like pro. I have used it and this is very convenient to use and manage.
2. rye: I have raised issue #639 while configuring the campusx project. For more info see issue itself.
3. astral-sh/uv: Another blazing fast tool for python devs to manage their packages (written in 🦀 Rust).
   • 🤯 This is actually powerful (I have seen it 👀). It is almost 8x faster than pip when I build my yt-watch-history project using docker-compose it takes 🐢 ~200 seconds with pip but now it takes 🐇 ~25 seconds.
4. starship: Another blazing fast tool for terminal prompts (written in 🦀 Rust).
   • 🎉 Yay, I have learned and configured my terminal prompt using starship.
5. Social Cards: I have added social card preview on the website. Here, I have hard coded the <meta> tags (which is not recommended). You can use social builtin plugin of mkdocs-material.

Thoughts

1. Praise by Nitish Sir for campusx project. See my LinkedIn Post on this.
2. yt-watch-history: I have been configuring this project with rye and there are many challenges I have faced while doing this like:
   1. This is a virtual project and there are some limitations comes with virtual packages check the issue #639.
   2. This project contains two separate repos backend and frontend which make this a monorepo and for now rye does not well support a monorepo because I have to create one workspace level environment for both repos (and I don’t kinda like this).

Week 8 Journal

Learning

1. Starship: Now I have learned starship in a way that I can customize my prompt easily however I want to be. I written a blog a on it to. You can check my starship.toml on Github.
2. notebooks/spotify-analysis: I have started a new project which analyses User’s Spotify’s Streaming History data and give insights from them.
   • I have done some analysis on StreamingHistory and Playlist dataset and gain some interesting insights from it.

Thoughts

1. backdropbuild.com: I have received a mail from @JoeyDeBruin to participate in their program (which is a kind of Hack-a-thon) and mentioned my project yt-watch-history because he thinks that the project good fit their program (and I am doing this project to learn MLOps concepts like Docker, MLFlow).

Week 9 Journal
