I started the Seaborn course on Kaggle, and I think it's good so far, but one or two more resources would be great.

I made part II which is a little bit more technical. You can read it here: https://albexl.hashnode.dev/a-tale-of-debugging-the-competitive-programmer-approach-part-ii It is about taking this approach to a whole new level by making an actual tool to stress test solutions.

Testing will shorten development time in the long run. I've seen teams that write tests and teams that don't because they think it is a waste of time. The more you progress in a project, the harder it is to ensure the quality of all the pieces. And there is when tests come to the rescue.](https://hashnode.com/posts/a-tale-of-testing-the-basics-of-test-driven-development-with-a-focus-on-data-structures/6407385e81d8b89c5282a4d7/comment/6407527dc9fcfad441632e58#reply-6407577f6c8cbdd4116b74e2) Reply · Article · Mar 7, 2023 · [A Tale of Testing: The Basics of Test-Driven Development with a Focus on Data Structures](https://hashnode.com/posts/a-tale-of-testing-the-basics-of-test-driven-development-with-a-focus-on-data-structures/6407385e81d8b89c5282a4d7) [A few comments: The article makes me want to explore this area of programming much more. Great work!
