Machine Learning Models as Finite State Machines
Are ML Models in modern OOP toolkits finite state machines? My goal is not to convince you that this has some deeper implication, but rather to discuss the resulting design implications and review the current approaches in many OSS libraries.
Clean Code: What, Why and How?
What is clean code and why is it important? Is it overhyped? In this article we dive into what is meant by clean code and why anyone should care.
