Keep a small part of your workflow unassisted: predict behavior, explain one decision, then check it. Try an array-mutation exercise and a practical daily routine.
Recall & learning · 5 min read
Published
Turn a familiar-looking solution into something you can reconstruct. Use a small Python exercise, a changed requirement and a follow-up attempt without hints.
AI code review · 5 min read
Published
Write the contract, find a counterexample and check the fix. Practise on a JavaScript validator that passes ordinary examples but accepts an empty batch.
Returning to coding · 5 min read

Find out what is rusty before restarting a whole course. Try a small debugging task, then use a one-week plan for recall, tracing and a working project change.
Data & APIs · 4 min read
Published
Make a payload readable while keeping large identifiers, string escapes and duplicate keys visible. Separate syntax validation from data validation.
Dates & time · 4 min read
Published
Trace one instant through Unix seconds, milliseconds and ISO offsets. Reject impossible dates and keep local scheduling separate from timestamp conversion.
Code review · 4 min read
Published
Use a small default-value change to review a diff, separate whitespace noise and choose examples that expose changed behavior.
JavaScript · 6 min read

Trace the first check, last visit and first failed condition in a JavaScript loop. Work through exclusive bounds, larger steps and reverse loops.
JavaScript · 6 min read
Published
Follow a zero-retry setting through logical OR and nullish coalescing. Compare false, empty strings, null and undefined before choosing a default.
SQL & databases · 5 min read
Published
Trace a three-customer report through LEFT JOIN, ON filters, WHERE predicates and COUNT(column) versus COUNT(*) without dropping zero-count rows.
Python · 6 min read
Published
Follow two stateful Python bugs line by line: a generator partially consumed by any() before sum(), and a default list shared across calls.
Debugging & logs · 5 min read
Published
Read an interleaved gateway, checkout and ledger log timeline. See how a tight caller timeout and a retry without an idempotency key cause duplicate writes.
