Today we’re turning tiny tips into big wins. Khuyen Tran, creator of CodeCut.ai, has shipped hundreds of bite-size Python and data science snippets across four years. We dig into open-source tools you can use right now, cleaner workflows, and why notebooks and scripts don’t have to be enemies. If you want faster insights with fewer yak-shaves, this one’s packed with takeaways you can apply before lunch. Let’s get into it.
