Python for FDEs
Quick answer
The default language of data, integrations and LLM tooling. Almost every FDE task, from a webhook receiver to an eval harness, is quickest to write and review in Python.
Practise it
- 1. Write a script that calls a REST API with retries
- 2. Parse and clean a messy CSV export
- 3. Add type hints and unit tests to a small module
Where it sits
Stage 1 of the roadmap: Programming foundations. You can write, test and version a small service without help.
