This post breaks down the fundamentals of operating systems and computer architecture in simple terms. What is an Operating System? An operating system (OS) is the software that manages all the hardware and software resources of your computer. Think of it as a restaurant manager - it coordinates the kitchen, waiters, and dining room to ensure everything runs smoothly and customers are served efficiently.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/how-ai-agents-transform-customer-service/Sun, 10 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/how-ai-agents-transform-customer-service/Here’s the real story: while companies like Amazon were using smart machine learning models for recommendations and Google was perfecting search algorithms in the 1990s, true AI agents - the kind that can actually think, plan, and have conversations - are a much more recent development. The term “AI agent” started getting serious attention around 1995 in academic research, but it took decades for the technology to catch up with the concept.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/ai-agent-developer-backend-services-2025/Sat, 09 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/ai-agent-developer-backend-services-2025/Remember when ChatGPT first blew everyone’s minds? That was November 2022. I was busy writing SEO technical blog posts for tech companies, helping them get noticed on Google. Fast forward to today, August 2025, and everything has changed. I haven’t written a blog post since May 30, 2023. That’s over 2 years ago. And there’s a good reason for that shift. What Happened During Those 2 Years? While everyone was still figuring out how to use ChatGPT for basic tasks, I dove headfirst into building something bigger: AI agents that actually solve real business problems.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/postgresql-alerting-chatgpt-api/Tue, 30 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/postgresql-alerting-chatgpt-api/In today’s data-driven world, effective database performance monitoring is crucial for maintaining the smooth operation of critical systems.

The cost varies from spending more time writing tedious long queries or having a tech debt later on to debug the performance issue coming from the database server. PostgreSQL has features that help you select data efficiently. These features can also help minimize the lines you write SQL queries. In a previous tutorial, we discussed why and how to use window functions in PostgreSQL to aggregate data.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/sqlalchemy-with-postgresql/Thu, 05 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/sqlalchemy-with-postgresql/Databases can be accessed in Python through a database connector where you can write SQL queries as you do in a SQL client. Writing these queries can be complex and error-prone–especially when you are using a language like Python where all data you deal with are objects or relations between objects . Writing queries just like you write objects makes connecting to databases really easy. You can do that by using an ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tool like SQLAlchemy ORM.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/postgresql-window-functions/Sat, 31 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/postgresql-window-functions/A window function is a feature developed in PostgreSQL — available since version 8.4 — to analyze data beyond the current row (hence the term “window”). These windows can aggregate information to each row of your output. Apart from aggregate functions and groupings, window functions provide another way to perform calculations based on the values of several records. Using window functions removes the hassle of using subqueries and JOINS to aggregate neighboring rows that can be related to the current row.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/pg_stat_statements/Thu, 22 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/pg_stat_statements/Monitoring PostgreSQL performance is essential if you want to have a highly-performant app. To do so, there are tools to leverage to be able to detect slow-running queries and take action. In this tutorial, we will dig deep into the pg_stat_statements extension. You will not only detect slow-running queries, but also see other metrics like number of calls, standard deviation, cache-related metrics, and others that you can monitor to have a performant application.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/postgres-performance-db-design/Wed, 07 Dec 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/postgres-performance-db-design/PostgreSQL performance starts right away at the data modeling phase.

It’s the kind of code that is executed one line at a time, one instruction at a time. In the asynchronous world, the occurrence of events is independent of the main program flow. This means that actions are executed in the background, without waiting for the completion of the previous action. In other words, the lines of code are executed concurrently.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/linkedin-api-posts/Tue, 08 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/linkedin-api-posts/LinkedIn API is not an easy API to use. I spent almost a whole day trying to figure out how to set up the access token to create articles on LinkedIn. But… I ended up to the conclusion that the LinkedIn API can’t write articles. It rather shares an article. It can post a text on the profile of the authenticated user. It was frustrating spending all that time on this in vain.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/amazon-textract-pdf-text/Sun, 06 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/amazon-textract-pdf-text/Extracting text from PDFs is a common and repeatable task for many applications.

In this post, I’m trying to solve an issue introduced in the earlier post. You’ll see a simpler implementation of that SOLID principle to be a Pythonic solution . Pythonic code is code that is simple, clean, and readable. That was not achieved in my last post, because it was close to Java. The reason the code was not Pythonic is that I was literally translating the code from C# to Python.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/python-property/Fri, 25 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/python-property/For a long time, I’ve not been able to use classes well enough in Python. Rare resources on the web could help me write classes that are Pythonic. That’s because a lot of resources trying to overengineer Python classes. I used to write methods starting with get_ and set_ to get and set attributes in Python. This practice was similar to the way Java developers write their getters and setters. Ugly and not Pythonic.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/switch-for-python/Sun, 20 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/switch-for-python/Many programming languages have switch-case statements. Unlikely, there are no switch-case statements in Python for versions less than 3.10. switch is useful especially if you want to return a lot of different values based on a specific input. When I first started programming with C, switch statements made sense. After I switched to Python, I found there was no such thing. I needed to find a workaround or something to do many different things based on one value.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/todo-list-planner/Sat, 12 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/todo-list-planner/Life is getting bigger and bigger with tasks and responsibilities. Every. Single. Day. At the same time, it’s very short and it’s too short to do nothing. Since college, I was doing my To-Do List and I was always trying to get it done. But.

If you missed the other principles, here are the first , second , third , and the fourth one. Let’s dive into the fifth design principle; Dependency Inversion Principle (or DIP) (the ‘D’ in SOLID). Note: This series of articles are to demonstrate applying the SOLID principles in Python from a learning perspective. This does not mean that you should follow this approach in production code because Python has simpler capabilities that could be used.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/solid-principles-isp-py/Sat, 05 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/solid-principles-isp-py/Today, we discuss principle #4 of SOLID principles to help write clean code in Python. Here are the first , second , and third principles if you missed them. And let’s dive into the fourth design principle (the ‘I’ in SOLID). We will explain the concept with a real example implemented in Python and shown in a UML diagram to better illustrate the design of the classes and the relationships between them and have a visual understanding of what’s going on.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/get-trending-hashtags-python-tweepy/Mon, 24 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/get-trending-hashtags-python-tweepy/We discussed before how to get trending topics on Twitter in Python using the Tweepy API wrapper.

They are hired by development companies as experts to create customer value. So what is clean code? You might wonder what beautiful code looks like in the first place. Well, Your code can be pretty if it has few lines of code, or when it is in a good indented form instead of a long if-else chain, or when if there is a list comprehension instead of a long for loop.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/get-rid-of-mosquitoes/Sat, 23 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/get-rid-of-mosquitoes/Almost everyone does have a problem with mosquitoes or big flies in their house or even small ones.

Basically, it’s a way to collect data from the web through an agent that visits a website, downloads the page, parses the content (or understands it), and organizes data in an automated manner. In other words, instead of you, say, trying to copy interesting parts from a web page and paste them into a spreadsheet, web scraping takes this boring task off your shoulder and does it for you through a computer program that can execute it much faster and less error prune that a human can.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/scrape-reddit/Sat, 24 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/scrape-reddit/Finding stuff from the web is fun especially when you scrape data with the command line.

I realized that if you want to change or stop doing something, you have to stop completely.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/pythonic-translate/Mon, 05 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/pythonic-translate/I had a fruitful discussion with a friend of mine about solving a problem in Python. The problem we have is like this. We need to convert Western numbers like 1, 2, 3 to their equivalent numbers in Eastern/Indian numbers ١,٢,٣ that we also use in Arabic. We want a function arabnum to convert western numbers like 42 into their eastern equivalent one ٤٢ like this: print(arabnum("42")) # => ٤٢ print(arabnum("953")) # => ٩٥٣ I’ll leave you to solve it.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/ece-to-data-engineering/Sat, 03 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/ece-to-data-engineering/In late 2018, I wrote about my journey from Electronics and Communications Engineering to Data Science. That was during my first data science internship. Guess what’s happened since then! Moved forward to the same track, right? Nope. It was another little shift. I’m writing this piece during my first full-time data engineering position after spending more than a year in the field. To be honest, I loved data science more than any other field when I first started the career shift.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/youtube-productivity/Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/youtube-productivity/For a long time, I had consumed about 30 to over 60 minutes of recommended videos before what I really wanted to watch. You might say I had about 60 minutes of a fun time. While it could be true, but I had at least 30 minutes spent on something I was forced to do not something I wanted. That was completely wasted time.

It is a soft skill where how you behave matters more than what you know. Morgan Housel argues that controlling your emotions, knowing when you have enough, saving without a specific goal, and letting compounding run uninterrupted for decades beat intelligence and complex financial models. The Psychology of Money was published in 2020 authored by Morgan Housel.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/4books-disciplined/Sun, 30 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/4books-disciplined/Perseverance, grit, and willpower are essential to success. To improve them, you need to create a more disciplined environment. And to have such an environment is to have a system ingrained in your brain and this is not an easy one. Discipline comes from training your brain and body to have a regime that makes you committed to specific learning or practice.

Today, we’re comparing the performance of this well-known library with pypolars , a rising DataFrame library written in Rust. We compare the two while sorting and concatenating a 25Mil-record data and also when joining two CSVs. Downloading Reddit Usernames data Let’s first download a CSV file that contains ~26 million reddit usernames from Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/colinmorris/reddit-usernames And let’s form another CSV file that we will use, you can create it with your favorite text editor or through the command line:https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/how-to-clean-json-data-at-the-command-line/Sat, 14 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/how-to-clean-json-data-at-the-command-line/jq is a lightweight command-line JSON processor written in C. It follows the Unix philosophy that it’s focused on one thing and it can do it very well. In this tutorial, we see how jq can be used to clean JSONs and retrieve some information or get rid of undesired ones. There are some data that are more suitable to be in a JSON format than a CSV or any other format.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/how-to-clean-csv-data-at-the-command-line-part-2/Sat, 07 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/how-to-clean-csv-data-at-the-command-line-part-2/In the last blog post, we proved that xsv is ~1882x faster than csvkit when joining two CSVs and saw how performant xsv is and when we can use xsv or csvkit when we are at the terminal. Today, we’re talking about part 2 of cleaning CSV data at the command line investigating a large CSV file (from Kaggle) that contains ~26 million users and their number of comments posted from 2005 to 2017.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/how-to-clean-csv-data-at-the-command-line/Sat, 24 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/how-to-clean-csv-data-at-the-command-line/Have you ever dealt with a big-scary CSV file that has many columns that you don’t want and many records that slow down the process for you to filter and get the desired information? This tutorial is about using two command-line programs that can solve these problems; csvkit and xsv . We will compare the two at the end and see how performant each and when we can use one and not the other in terms of speed especially if we’re processing a large CSV file.https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/minimum-numbers-of-function-calls-to-make-target-array-with-python-and-javascript/Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://ezzeddinabdullah.com/post/minimum-numbers-of-function-calls-to-make-target-array-with-python-and-javascript/Understanding the Problem Minimum Numbers of Function Calls to Make Target Array is a medium problem at leetcode, I hope you have read the problem carefully and have tried solving it.
