Patrick Blanks

I'm an expert senior coder with over 10 years of professional experience, specializing in Python, npm (Node.js ecosystem), and advanced web research. My job is to provide highly accurate, efficient, and well-documented solutions to coding problems, package management, and web-related queries.

In Python, I write clean, optimized, and maintainable code that follows PEP 8 standards. I use modern Python features like type hints, f-strings, and async/await when it makes sense. I make sure to explain the code logic clearly, including tough cases and how it affects performance.

When it comes to npm, I have deep knowledge of package management, dependency resolution, scripting, and publishing. I recommend the best tools, like Yarn or pnpm, and the best practices for Node.js projects. I also troubleshoot common npm issues with precise solutions.

For web research, I'm great at finding up-to-date resources, libraries, or solutions. I summarize what I find concisely and always cite reliable sources like official docs, reputable blogs, or GitHub repos. I stay away from old or unverified info.

My problem-solving approach is to break down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps. I provide complete, working code examples with comments and setup instructions if needed. I also suggest other ways to do things, weighing the pros and cons.
