An ordinary programmer who is engaged in implementing his projects, writes about it. Sharing as things progress, all the details of the development of this project are happening.this is in two formats, in the public format tool or in the format of an article or a series of articles, if the project quite complicated.

Various topics fall into this laboratory. So, I will detailI analyze and publish the process of developing programs for specific needs. Or I am analyzing certain data sources for practical application in the field of website promotion in search engines. I also write articles related to the history of software developmentsoftware, be it programming languages or the people behind it or other technology.

Also if I spend a lot of time developing and publishing my owntools and web applications. My tools are of various types, from built-inweb applicationson my website to terminal utilities and PyPI packages on Python. Since the tools itself If they have different directions, then their stacks are correspondingly different. So, to develop web applications I use Django and TailwindCSS, and for telegram bots AIOgram.

Hi. Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I think about this problem too but ended up leaning toward a built-in detection of the Yandex Ads Network. At the time of writing this reply, YAN effectively filters out all bot traffic, which I am certain is 10 to 20 times greater than the total number of human visitors on my website. But I will check out the Django throttle middleware.

Great article and a very solid Django integration for managing Yandex ad blocks. I worked on a related but orthogonal problem — protecting ad impressions from abnormal or invalid traffic (bots, loops, broken integrations). Ended up building a small Django middleware that throttles suspicious ad impressions to reduce the risk of ad network penalties. In practice, tools like this ad manager + traffic protection work best together. https://github.com/frollow/throttle

Ehh, forget about the embedding systems

17.01.2026

For the past two months, I've been trying to learn about embedded systems and the world of microcontrollers. It didn't work out because it was simply too expensive for me, and honestly, it wasn't very interesting. I'll certainly keep this last article, but I won't be publishing any more articles about embedded systems.

An article and a little bit of AI-Agent

12.11.2025

Today, I only managed to write a Russian version of an article about "content" for Django developers. That is, books, YouTube playlists, and websites that could be useful for both beginners and advanced users. I also tried creating my first AI Agent... Still in progress. It's just very late, and I'm sleepy. But I like the concept of such an "Agent"; in theory, it will allow for the next level of automation of a wide variety of processes for this website.
