codetour VS hamilton

CodeTour is a vscode plugin that is managed by Microsoft and allows the ability to create “tours” to link through code by clicking through steps.

Regarding the @next, i found the best way to get back into a session after being interrupted, was watching yourselve working on the code.

https://github.com/microsoft/codetour

Basically record the last 5 minutes of your work and replay as code tour.

CodeTour allow you to add a tour with Markdown in your files.

Microsoft just released a VSCode extension that looks amazing and somewhat what I want. Just sharing https://github.com/microsoft/codetour#navigating-tours

microsoft/codetour – VS Code extension that allows you to record and playback guided tours of codebases, directly within the editor.

Python - https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton (author here). It's great if you want your code to be always unit testable and documentation friendly, and you want to be able to visualize execution. Blog post on using it with Pandas https://link.medium.com/XhyYD9BAntb.

Yes! As one of the creators of https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton this was one of the aims. Simplifying the cognitive burden for those developing and managing data transforms over the course of years, and in particular for ones they didn't write!

For example in Hamilton -- we force people to write "declarative functions" which then are stitched together to create a dataflow.

E.g. example function -- my guess is that you can read and understand/guess what it does very easily.

For (1) there are quite a few options - prefect is one, metaflow is another, airflow, dagster, even https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton (core contributor here), etc.

If you're want to do more python https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton allows you to model dependencies at a columnar (field) level.

Take a look at https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton - we're after contributors who can help us grow the project, e.g. make documentation great, dog fooding features and suggesting/contributing usability improvements.

For a real world example of their power, we built an entire framework (https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton) at Stitch Fix, where a lot of cool magic is provide via decorators - see https://hamilton-docs.gitbook.io/docs/reference/api-reference/available-decorators and these two source files (https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton/blob/main/hamilton/function_modifiers_base.py, https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton/blob/main/hamilton/function_modifiers.py ). Note we do some non-trivial stuff via them.

For data processing/transform code, I would recommend looking at https://github.com/stitchfix/hamilton, especially if you're trying to test pandas code. Short getting started here - https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-use-hamilton-with-pandas-in-5-minutes-89f63e5af8f5 (disclaimer: I'm one of the authors).

The python package, hamilton, from Stitch Fix (https://hamilton-docs.gitbook.io/docs/) can help manage transformations on pandas dataframes. This DAG of transformations is managed separately in a file - so it can be versioned, in case the transformations change. The memory required is reduced, because only the API call tables and mapping parameter table have to be in memory. The calculated columns can be produced as needed. Just like dbt, transformations are separate from the source tables - but hamilton can be used on any python object - not just dataframes. dbt is SQL based.
