Your cozy corner on the web for bite-sized learning and practical code.
Here, a friendly penguin tutor guides you through clean code snippets, step-by-step tutorials, handy mini-scripts, and real-world Home Assistant YAML automations and extensions—all focused on getting things done fast.
What you’ll find
- Code Snippets: compact, copy-paste blocks for common tasks (well-commented, production-ready).
- Tutorials: short, focused guides that solve one problem at a time—no fluff, just results.
- Mini-Scripts: small utilities in Bash, Python, and JS to automate everyday chores.
- Home Assistant: YAML automations, blueprints, and custom integrations/extensions the smart-home way.
- Best Practices: naming, structure, and patterns you can reuse across projects.
How it works
Each post includes:
- A quick TL;DR of what you’ll achieve
- A tested snippet with inline comments
- A copy box and, where useful, a downloadable file
- An optional deep dive for the “why,” not just the “how”
Who it’s for
Makers, tinkerers, and builders who value clarity, speed, and high-quality examples—whether you’re automating your home, polishing a script, or learning something new in a coffee break.
