Python VEnv Setup: A Rails Developer's Survival Guide 🐍

Hey everyone! Ever been in a situation where you solve a tricky technical problem, celebrate your victory, only to face the exact same problem months later with no memory of your brilliant solution? 😅 That's exactly what happened to me, and it taught me a valuable lesson about documenting those "one-off" solutions. The Genesis of a Python Problem 💡 In our project, we had a unique requirement: efficiently manage feature flags. Our solution involved moving one of our API endpoints to an AWS Lambda Function.

The categories are labeled in a simpler manner s...
