Code Platforms

No more tutorial paralysis. Just code, tests, and real progress. Python and Rust.

Learn by Doing

500+ Python and Rust exercises from beginner to advanced. Each one gives you a problem, starter code, and tests. Write code, run tests, iterate until green.

Pythonic Best Practices

Learn not just syntax, but how experienced developers write Python. Read forum solutions, discover new libraries, and absorb patterns that make code elegant.

Supportive Community

Every exercise has a forum where members share solutions and discuss approaches. You’re never stuck alone. Learn from others, help others, grow together.

Our Community

Join a thriving community of Python developers who learn, build, and grow together.

  • Changes to Pybites in 2026

    TLDR After almost 6 years of coaching together through Pybites, we’ve decided to sunset the PDI and PDM Programs. We’re choosing to focus on our unique strengths and provide our own coaching services outside of Pybites: We’ll be better coaches when we each go deep on our own thing. Most importantly, and to clarify, Pybites isn’t going away. The blog, the community, and the coding platforms (Python and Rust bites) are all staying as is. We’ll still be committed to supporting these products and being present within the community. What this does unfortunately mean is that we’re also discontinuing the weekly newsletter and…

  • Why Building a Production RAG Pipeline is Easier Than You Think

    Adding AI to legacy code doesn’t have to be a challenge. Many devs are hearing this right now: “We need to add AI to the app.” And for many of them, panic ensues. The assumption is that you have to rip your existing architecture down to its foundation. You start having nightmares about standing up complex microservices, massive AWS bills, and spending six months learning the intricate math behind vector embeddings. It feels like a monumental risk to your stable, production-ready codebase, right? Here’s the current reality though: adding AI to an existing application doesn’t actually require a massive rewrite.…

  • Why do we insist on struggling alone?

    A realisation about my son’s basketball team reminded me that we should never be ashamed to ask for help, or better yet, seek formal coaching/support. Last year, for two straight seasons, my son’s team got absolutely smashed on the court.  They had the energy and the determination, but they were effectively running in circles without any real guidance (and I’m definitely not a basketball player!). Sound familiar? It should! It’s exactly what it feels like when you can’t figure out where you’re going wrong, stuck in tutorial hell or banging your head against a wall trying to architect an application by…

  • 3 Questions to go from thinking like a Scrappy to Senior Dev

    How do you know if you’re actually growing as a dev? Last week I was chatting with a developer who’d hit a wall. (I talk to a lot of devs now that I think about it!) Like him, you might consider yourself a scrappy coder. You’re an all-rounder, can generally figure things out and write some sort of scrappy script to solve a problem. It’s actually a badge of pride! I myself have a bunch of scrappy scripts running in my home lab to do various things. The thing is, sometimes this confidence we feel being scrappy, may actually just…

  • How Even Senior Developers Mess Up Their Git Workflow

    There are few things in software engineering that induce panic quite like a massive git merge conflict. You pull down the latest code, open your editor, and suddenly your screen is bleeding with <<<<<<< HEAD markers. Your logic is tangled with someone else’s, the CSS is conflicting, and you realise you just wasted hours building on top of outdated architecture. It is easy to think this only happens to juniors, but it happens to us all. Case in point – this week it was the two of us butting… HEADs (get it?). When you code in isolation, you get comfortable.…
