#how to send email with python

[fimbry]

This is going to be a long post, a mix of what happened and then what Charlie meant to me. TW pet death

Charlie has passed away after eating 2 bad rats from Big Cheese Rodent Factory. She regurgitated 3 days after feeding and died two days later. I have been purchasing f/t rats from Big Cheese for years, and if my friend hadn't been having these same problems with the same batch of jumbo rats I would have thought this could be a freak incident or a mistake on my part. However, my friend's snakes are also regurgitating and one has died after eating these jumbo rats, and we bought them during the same Mother's Day sale. Same batch. I'll be getting a necropsy on Charlie to see if that has any answers as to what was off with the rats.

Now I get it that sometimes food safety measures don't get carried out every time and most suppliers have some kind of scandal like this, but the company's callous response and refusal to even entertain that it could be their rats at fault is pretty fucked up and has me a bit heated. It's just a "coincidence" my friend's and my snakes are getting sick/dying after eating rats from the same batch. Eye roll. The money doesn't even matter to me at this point so I may not message them further about this, I'm just so upset over the cold response and the loss of Charlie.

The email response from them:

With that out of the way, I do want to share what Charlie meant to me. She was a very special animal, I thought of her as the "matriarch" of my collection as I have a good number of her kids and grandchildren still with me. Four of each actually if I'm counting, and I love them so very much.

When I got Charlie I was still pretty green in the hobby. Yes I'd had snakes for years, my cornsnake and then a couple ball pythons, and even a Sumatran short-tail, my beloved Svid, but these were all very "easy" snakes... I learned with them, but I was not challenged the way that Charlie challenged me. I got Charlie as a full adult, she was my first blood python and I had not even planned to get into bloods until I saw her. I was planning to focus on Sumatran short tails, but Charlie changed things.

Charlie came out of the shipping bag striking and bit me on the finger immediately. Now I'm not sure if anyone remembers this but that video of the two little brothers "Charlie bit my finger" is how Charlie got her name lol.

The first 4 months were... challenging. I could not even touch her directly. I was so afraid I'd made a mistake. Charlie was a 17lb adult blood python, far bigger than my other snakes, and she was TERRIFIED of me. She wanted me to go to hell, and would send me there herself if only she could. We spent a lot of time together, just me sitting near her open enclosure and her glaring at me. Over the months we went from no contact, to minimal contact, until finally I was able to at least clean her without too much trouble. She liked routine, liked to know what was going to happen next. Any deviation from the routine and the trust would be broken, she'd be full of fear again. It was a few years of doing things purely by her strict rules.

Around 2014, something clicked. She began to actually trust that I wasn't going to hurt her and didn't have bad intentions. We seemed to have an actual understanding where if something happened out of the norm, she wouldn't react badly. I could even take her out for pictures and she behaved! Soon I was able to pet her, touch her tail (which I was doing a lot about now since I was trying to figure out why my "male" was not breeding, ha), even pet her head. I was still a bit wary of her, but we were in a good place. As the years went on, our trust grew deeper and I knew she wouldn't bite me, and she knew I was a safe person.

She also showed me how intelligent these snakes could be. She could tell people apart which became obvious if she saw anyone besides me. While I had earned her trust, others had not, so I refrained from taking her out if others were around. While she was a big beautiful animal, I couldn't take her out to show guests. I respected her all the more for it, if I'm honest. She knew what she was about, and I didn't push that.

Over the years she ended up giving me three clutches of beautiful babies, she did such a good job. After her last clutch in 2021, she started showing her age. She was nearing 20 years old, if not over, and had begun getting wrinkled scales and grew a cataract in one eye. I decided to retire her from breeding and let her enjoy her golden years in peace. Pythons can live a very long time, so I expected to have another ~10 years with her.

I'm devastated that her retirement was cut short like this, devastated that I was robbed of more time together. We had both grown and changed a lot over the last 12 years together, and she really was a picture of "to be loved is to be changed." My sweet old lady who knew me, and I knew her. ♥

Interview + Resume Guide from a Hiring Manager in Tech

Writing this because I am losing my MINDT at how BAD the entry level candidates I am getting are interviewing. I have done over 100 interviews over the last several years and this is just my experience, which is tailored for tech jobs, but most of these principles would apply to everything, I’d think. There are also some tips in there on how to make a good resume and cover letter + how to follow up on applications (yes you can do that and sometimes it DOES work… got me a job offer once!). Also if you are in the DC / Baltimore metro area, have reliable transportation, and want to break in to IT Systems Administration as a career, hmu lol

Resume / Cover Letter Tips

1 - Basic Do’s and Don'ts

Do:

Be on time! 5-10 mins early is usually best for virtual interviews, 15 mins early for physical

If there are delays or issues, COMMUNICATE that to the recruiter

If virtual, test your audio / video equipment beforehand! 

Please dress professionally. Clean, UNWRINKLED clothes. No anime t-shirts!!! I once interviewed a guy in a Sasuke t-shirt on his living room couch from a handheld iPhone. He did not get the job

VISIBLY TAKE NOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have questions for the interviewer!!!

Feel free to reference notes you may have pre-prepared! Make a show of it. It demonstrates you can record information efficiently and can self-structure, it’s NOT cheating, it’s GOOD! 

MAKE SURE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR RESUME IN DETAIL! If it’s there, it’s there for a reason! 

Thank the interviewer for their time!

SEND A THANK-YOU EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God like NOBODY does this anymore… super easy way to distinguish yourself here, seriously

Make sure you know the key requirements of the job description so you can talk about them and how you fit them!

Might be overkill, but never hurts to look up the interviewer on LinkedIn to understand their background

Research the company you are trying to work for! Don’t need an essay here, just a basic understanding of what they are about

If you have unemployment gaps, make sure you have a good story to explain them that shows you were doing something meaningful with that time

Don’t:

Don’t be late or unkempt! Please bathe… 

If virtual, don’t worry about taking an interview while working – If you have to take an interview from a break room or your car, you can always spin that positively – mention how you are taking the interview while on break, and how you are excited for the opportunity and did what you could to accommodate the interviewers. We know sometimes it just be like that

If virtual, don’t have a messy background!!!! [damn bitch you live like this meme]

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT derail a question! If there’s one thing that is just AWFUL it’s when someone asks you a question you don’t know the answer to, and you derail it to something you DO know… incredibly annoying and you WILL end up rambling

Don’t say you don’t know something and just leave it at that! It’s always okay to not know something – admit it, and say how you will fix that knowledge gap

Don’t wildly guess answers to questions! If you have to guess, say that you are doing so. There are few things as damning as guessing incorrectly with confidence

DO NOT RAMBLE! Keep your responses short and to the point!!! Don’t talk for more than 1 minute, 2 minutes straight at MAX

With that, DON’T LIE ON YOUR RESUME!!!! DO NOT! LIE! ON YOUR RESUME! DON’T! You WILL end up looking a fool. Sure you can embellish a bit, but if you put down that you know Python and all you’ve done is one class project from 3 years ago, YOU DO NOT KNOW PYTHON!

Okay admittedly an addendum to that – if you ARE going to lie on your resume, don’t go in empty-handed!!! Make sure you are prepared to bullshit!!!!!!!! Seriously there have been soooo many times I’ve asked people about impressive, top-billed resume items and the answer is ‘uhhh yea I did that like once 5 years ago’ or ‘I once shadowed a guy who did this’

If you are going to lie about a key item on your resume, you better be prepared to put in the legwork ON YOUR OWN to get up to speed on it ASAP if you are hired. Do Not Fuck Up That Part. Otherwise you are just setting yourself up for stressful, miserable failure

2 - Types of Interviewers

Different people have different approaches. Some interviewers just want to see what vibes you give off, others have highly-structured interviews. Also in all honesty, a lot of interviewers might not know how to run an interview in a way that gets them the key info they need. It’s an art form. Once you understand the level of structure the interviewer is approaching the interview with, you can adapt.

You need to assess what kind of interviewer you have, and be prepared to control the interview in a way that works best with them. Have a few pre-prepared personal stories about your hobbies, working accomplishments, challenges you’ve overcome, etc. that you can easily launch in to while you’re figuring out what the interviewer is like.

3 - How to Control an Interview (Key Goals of an Interview)

Key Goals of an Interview:

Give off good vibes

Demonstrate how you fit the key requirements of the job description

Differentiate yourself from others

Do this all in a very limited amount of time

For 1, good vibes: you want to be attentive, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Ultimately a hiring manager will be looking for one HUGE thing – will you be EASY to manage? As in, do you have the skills, and the wisdom to use them, or learn them? This is why visibly taking notes is really great – shows initiative and organization. You don’t necessarily need to be a social butterfly either, but you have to at least attempt a friendly demeanor. If you are super nervous, it’s also okay to admit that! You can always spin it to say that it’s because you are just super excited about this opportunity, and want to make sure you have a good conversation that demonstrates the value you’ll bring to the role.

For 2, fitting the job: this is where knowing the job description and a background on the company helps. There are soooo many people I’ve interviewed who had essentially no plan for the interview – they are just rawdogging that call. You need to be able to toot your own horn – make sure you have talking points for the top-billed parts of the job description, and that you know what your best features are and how to explain them. 

For 3, differentiating yourself: this is like your Jeopardy post-commercial quirky story. You don’t need much, just maybe one or two things that make you unique. If you look up the interviewer’s LinkedIn beforehand, you can perhaps even specifically appeal to them. Standing out is a huge challenge, because the interviewers usually have onslaughts of applicants.

For 4, time control – this is where everyone fucks up lol. You usually have 30 minutes or an hour to plead your case, and that time will FLY BY. This is where understanding your interviewer is critical.

If your interviewer is UNSTRUCTURED: you will need to take a lot more control of the interview. Your interviewer might get sidetracked talking about personal stories or one specific job topic, and will miss hearing out about how you fit others. You will need to segue to other key points in the job description – you can also be totally honest, if you are going down one rabbit hole and missing another, you can straight up ask the interviewer if you can change subjects, because you want to make sure you talk about everything in the job description in your limited time. If you are polite about this, it’s fine! The interviewer will most likely appreciate your focus and direction. Make sure you also leave time at the end to ask the interviewer questions.  

If your interviewer is STRUCTURED: this is a bit easier. Follow the structure, but keep an eye on the clock – if you are nearing the final quarter of the interview and haven’t hit your key points that demonstrate why you fit the job description, it is also perfectly acceptable to ask the interviewer if you can speak about a few key things you feel are relevant to the job. Just say you want to respect their time, and would like to make sure you communicate what you can bring to the table. Don’t worry about being humble lol this is your time to shine. 

4 - Interview Follow-Ups and Thank-You Emails

SEND THANK YOU EMAILS!!! SEND THANK YOU EMAILS!!!!!! SEND THANK YOU EMAILS!!!! This is not a bootlicking thing this is a cool and sexy lifehack because seriously, no one does this anymore. You WILL stand out if you do so. Writing a thank-you email is exceptionally easy too. I always follow the motto “Too Short To Suck” – keep it very simple:

Subject Line: Include A Thank You and The Name of the Role

Hello [Interviewer(s)],

Thank them for their time and talking with you about the job. Include ONE sentence (okay, maybe two short ones) about why you are excited for this opportunity, because of XYZ thing you have that adds value to the role. Final sentence re-iterating your excitement for the role, and that you look forward to hearing back soon.

Signature

Example:

Subject: Thanks for Talking About The Tech Analyst Role at Company Inc.!

Hello Interviewer(s),

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today about the Tech Analyst Role with Company Inc! It was a pleasure talking, and after learning more about the job, I am quite excited for this opportunity, as I know my organizational skills and experience with Microsoft Azure will provide a good framework for me to grow and contribute to Company Inc’s success. I am looking forward to hearing back soon, and thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Thank you,

Tumblr User Randam Hajile

FOR FOLLOW UPS: if a week goes by without hearing back, feel free to email the recruiters / interviewers again and politely ask for an update on your application. If they don’t respond after that, unless it’s a job you REALLY REALLY REALLY want and think you are a shoe-in for, it may not be worth it to bother them again. Give it another week or two and then send a second email for an update.

If several months+ have passed and it’s still a place you really would like to work for, you can also email those contacts again asking if any new roles have opened. You have to understand that these recruiters are going through massive piles of same-looking profiles in SmartRecruiters or something like that, so having anything to differentiate is helpful.

ALSO – HOT APPLICATION TIP !!!!!!! if you send out an application and hear NOTHING back, but it’s a place you really want to work for, here’s an awesome tip that actually legit led to me getting a job offer recently: crawl the company website to find a PR or HR email address, and send a polite email mentioning you applied for [specific role], and that you would like to know if they are still hiring for it or any similar roles, as you have not heard back and are still highly interested in working for the company. Chances are they can get in touch with Recruiting to forward your inquiry.

5 - Resume / Cover Letter Tips

RESUMES: For the love of God, put some effort in to your resume. Do NOT use the default resume that Indeed or LinkedIn pisses out for you… I hate that so much. Maybe that’s just a me-thing, but I honestly think those don’t present your information very well.

The secret to writing resumes is that there really isn’t a secret – there’s no MLA format or one-size-fits-all template that works. You need to put some thought in to it to understand what you are trying to communicate, and here are some tips to do so:

Save it as a PDF!!!! This way you can be 100% sure it formats correctly when opened by the recruiter / interviewer

Format it correctly!!! Make sure there are no sloppy mistakes

I can’t believe I have to say this, but please, please have a professional-looking email address. AnimeLover2005@hotmail.com won’t get you hired

Add some class with a nice template. Find something a little snappy looking – anything other than a wall of barebones Calibri font

If you are artistically inclined, have some fun with it. My resume and cover letter are obnoxiously 1970s themed as a statement piece about myself, plus it stands out in an ocean of samey-looking resumes lol. Where’s that Jack Sparrow meme where he’s like ‘but you HAVE heard of me’ – that’s my principle, people will either love it or hate it, but they WILL remember it

Include your LinkedIn URL at the top of the page with your basic contact info! Also, have a nice LinkedIn page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t put your home address on it. You can just say like “DC Metro Area” or something like that

Unless you have impressive references, or are working in an industry like Security where you know you’re going to get background-checked, just say ‘references available upon request’ at the bottom, and have those at the ready just in case

It doesn’t have to be one page! It can be up to two – if printing it physically, you can have a nice two-sided cardstock resume, but make sure the most key things are on the first page

If a cover letter isn’t requested, you can use that second resume page to include more detailed info that a cover letter would have

Use nice paper to print the resume – sturdy cardstock, and have multiple copies available to give

Remember you are trying to communicate what you can do, so get creative with presenting that efficiently – as an example, when I was a Sys Admin, I broke up my resume Skills section in to a 2x2 table that lists “Knowledgeable in the Use Of” and “Advanced Knowledge Of”, that way I could include skills I had without lying about my proficiency and bungling questions about them

Unless you are fresh out of college, don’t list coursework in college or high school clubs on your resume. You’re 30 years old. It’s embarrassing to list your Computer Club experience from High School. That could be a fun talking point, not something that takes up precious resume space

Include a mission statement at the top underneath your contact info – something simple like “Results-Oriented Technician Seeking New Challenges”; just something to summarize your best vibes

If you really, really, really want a job at a certain place, you can try tweaking some phrasing in your Skills or Experience sections to match keywords in the job description – that way AI will be more likely to highlight your resume for the recruiter, if they are using AI tooling (ugh)

COVER LETTERS: honestly there are better guides out there than I can give here, but basically you can create a generic cover letter where you only need to change out a few sentences to cater to the employer you are applying to. Keep it one page, and try to include keywords / terms from the job description in it – a lot of these recruiters use AI to sort through resumes / cover letters and want to find ones that match the job description. Similarly to a lot of the prior advice, you need to make sure you hit your key points about your best traits, relevant experience, and work ethic, and why you are excited to work for whoever you are applying to, and how these traits relate to that. 

I’m honestly not sure how many recruiters even read cover letters these days and how many of them just use them as AI fodder to help sort candidates… the positions I typically hire for don’t require cover letters so my experience here is a bit limited, but as mentioned, there’s lots of guides online on how to create a good cover letter, so do some Googling. They worked for me, at least. 

Anyway… hope that helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go forth and get hired…

Companies I've Applied To

I figured that as I embark on my quest to Get Hired, I should probably document the process for both myself and for others who are trying to get their foot in the door for industry work.

For context (and for those of you who don't know), I have a Bachelor's of Fine Art in Emerging Media: Character Animation and an Master's of Fine Art in Animation and VFX. I graduated in spring of 2022 after completing a fully independent short film, and have been working as a "visiting lecturer" at my University ever since.

My Employment History

When you're looking to get hired, your past work experience matters... a lot. Because of how intense my Undergrad/Graduate programs were, I didn't have a lot of time to cultivate my portfolio or bolster my resume. Getting hired by the University right out of college was a huge relief, but it doesn't tick that pesky "2+ years of Industry Experience" or "At least 1 AAA Game Shipped" prerequisite on most job postings.

With that in mind, I'm doing my best to push for the "or equivalent experience" caveat.

What I Do:

I've mentioned this a few times on this blog, but my professional focus is in 3D character modeling, rigging, groom, and sim. In the art field, this is usually considered a technical job, and from what I understand the market for tech is usually a little less competitive than the market for modeling/animation.

So, with all that out of the way, let's get to it!

DreamWorks:

I sent in my application for Character Tech Anim about three days after the posting opened. They had their own hiring website through nbcUniversal. I'd gone through the process before with internships, so it was pretty painless! It's a remote position, which is huge, and the salary would be competitive with the one I have now as long as I can stay remote.

Biggest con in my application is that I'm still missing Python proficiency. I'm learning it right now, but god damn is it an in-demand skill!

It's a job I'd love to get, and I think my skills in rigging/groom/sim line up well.

Process Pros:

Easy to apply.

Clear (and reasonable!) qualifications listed for the job level.

Honest about expectations regarding overtime and hours.

Allowed PDF uploads of CV & Resume.

Sent a confirmation email after the application had been received.

Had a section for "Additional Comments", which was a great place for me to throw in that I'm learning some of the skills they want.

Process Cons:

Likely will not receive a rejection notice in the event they decide not to hire. This isn't a huge con; the studio is massive and sending out rejection notices would be a time sink for them.

Advertised working weekends and overtime in the listing... definitely something I'll ask about if I move forward in the process. Work/life balance is important!

Had to enter my resume information and upload my resume. :(

Result: Too Soon to Tell

Gearbox:

I sent in my application for Technical Animator (Character Rigger) about two weeks after the listing was posted. They had their own hiring website. This is a hybrid position, which wouldn't be ideal, but a friend of a friend works remotely for them, so maybe it's negotiable?

Biggest con in my application is, yet again, that I'm still missing Python proficiency and tool dev experience. Learning it now!

I was missing a lot of the credentials on this one, so it's more of a hail-Mary application.

Process Pros:

Easy to apply.

Clear (and reasonable!) qualifications listed for the job level.

Allowed PDF uploads of CV & Resume.

Sent a confirmation email after the application had been received. Seems to promise a prompt response, which means I can likely expect a notice of rejection if they choose not to hire.

Company culture seems extremely reasonable and employee health is a priority.

Process Cons:

May have to relocate if hired.

Result: Too Soon to Tell

Aquent:

Honestly... no idea what was happening here. It was for a character rigging position, but it seems like it might've been for a broader hiring agency?

Process Pros:

Allowed PDF upload of CV and Resume.

Process Cons:

Had to apply for the job and make a separate account on their website to set up the application.

Confusing website.

Had to upload resume and then type up the resume again.

No place for a CV for the specific role.

Honestly, I'm not sure what company this went to.

Result: Too Soon to Tell

Steamroller:

Local studio that I've seen a lot of people go into! Applied for a rigging position in their animation department. Hybrid and remote are both an option for me!

Process Pros:

Allowed PDF upload of CV and Resume.

Easy to apply!

Received a confirmation email.

Credentials were clear and well listed; I matched most of the requirements.

Competitive salary! :)

Flexible work methods.

Allowed me to link to my website AND upload a static portfolio, which I love.

Process Cons:

Likely will not receive a rejection notice should they choose not to hire.

Result: Rejected (03/21/2023)

BonusXP:

Can't speak about the process much on this one! They have a rolling, general application process which means I just send in an email and if a job comes up, they'll let me know. Feels straightforward and simple. :)

Result: Too Soon to Tell

[uzukyo]

When she had first made his acquaintance in real life , she was forced to swallow a storm cloud of anxiety and disillusionment - there, after existing only to her for the longest part if her life, well, all of it…all if a susden he was arranged in beautiful shards of himself strewn across her living room couch.

“I told you I’d come get you.” He had said, after that night and the secret not-secret overstimulation play and wild (hard) fucking, his hand tenderly wrapping in a python-like grasp of her torso.

She looked away, then met his gaze and smiled: “i wish it wasnt like this. Ueurrgh, why does it have to be this way? “ she drags the joint, hard.

I want you, he interrupts, taking the lit cigarette from her hand with creepishly long, delicate fingers. Draco was someone she knew from a book. He was no certain chap to know- he wasnt easy to track down. Luckily, because she was a world-famous hacker with budding career deposit gials given in every abd any direction, also hacking beyond systems in iOS - he spent his time in the late 2000s stalking her blogs and sending her torturously short emails, indicating his luring interest and sturdy, unmistakable devotion, how…. He was a character in a magic book, rather a snide extra if you will, but hence, she was still receiving his emails every so often, promises and all.

But they were torn apart by space and time, forces only god could hope to control.

Ten years later

She wraps her tendrils of deep, dark green in a top bun, and then tears apart her appearancenin the mirror. Wearing only a scant pair of black shorts, and a light sleeveless hoodie, she dodges her eyes at her reflection.

He watches her with surprised affection. She hasnt been this cheerful in a long time. He wants her to stay here, to realize that her life isnt as complicated as it seems. He can only appear to her in magic forms because she isnt as safe as they’d like. He us her protector of magic, and nothing is as it seems to them. They are living separately, in hiding, to promote the protective spells cast upon her. God says its the only way.

She glances at his features as they hover in the glass mirror. She looks, well, beautiful.

i’m working on it i promise loveletter should be released by 2025

(what is loveletter? info under the cut)

Loveletter is currently a beta program made by a self taught programmer using Python and it’s related libraries. It aims to eventually mirror the functionality of programs like Word, Docs, and even the sticky note function on your computer, while holding a primarily love-core theme (more themes to be released after initial release!)

At current standing, Loveletter will be released for free, with the possibility that it will be able to download for a one-time fee. This one time fee is simply because I cannot afford to exist, as well the website to actually host the download for loveletter will unfortunately require out-of-pocket costs. However, once you own loveletter, you own it. If you grabbed it while it was free? You still own it! (Including all future updates as well!)

(p.s. if you share the software file, how am I gonna know?)

Loveletter will NEVER introduce AI, subscriptions, or micro-transactions. It is being developed by a crust punk who is irritated with the current state of the tech world!

What will the one-time fee be?

That is unfortunately going to depend on costs of upkeep, but the good news is hosting a domain is not that expensive (typically). But, I’m poor guys. I understand! I aim to have Loveletter under 10USD at maximum, I like to highball and be pleasantly surprised later!

I looked up Loveletter and found the famous bug, is Loveletter malicious?

Loveletter has nothing to do with the LoveBug bug, a famous computer virus that infected PCs by sending an email masquerading as a loveletter from your friend. This software is called Loveletter because my middle name is Cupid, I love love, and I think it’s cute!

A Beginner’s Guide to Web Development: Building the Future Online

Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites. From simple static pages to complex web applications, web development touches almost every aspect of how we interact with the internet today. Whether you’re looking to build a personal blog or a full-fledged e-commerce platform, understanding the basics of web development is essential. This article will guide you through the fundamentals, tools, and key concepts of web development.

1. What is Web Development?

Web development refers to the activities involved in creating a website or web application. This includes everything from coding, designing, and deploying the website to maintaining its functionality and ensuring its security. It can be broken down into three main categories:

Frontend Development: The front end of a website is what users see and interact with. Frontend development focuses on the visual elements, layout, and user experience (UX).

Backend Development: The backend involves the server-side logic, databases, and interactions that power the website. It ensures that everything functions as expected when a user interacts with the website.

Full-Stack Development: A full-stack developer is someone skilled in both frontend and backend development. They have the expertise to build complete web applications from start to finish.

2. Frontend Development

Frontend development involves creating the part of the website that users see and interact with. It’s all about building an attractive, user-friendly interface that works seamlessly across devices.

Key Technologies:

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): The skeleton of a webpage, HTML structures the content by defining elements like headings, paragraphs, images, and links.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): CSS defines the visual appearance of the webpage. It controls aspects such as layout, colors, fonts, and responsiveness.

Version Control: Git is the most widely used version control system. Git allows developers to track changes in code, collaborate with others, and manage codebases efficiently.

Code Editors: Tools like Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and Atom are popular code editors that help developers write and organize code.

Responsive Design: With users accessing websites from various devices (phones, tablets, desktops), it’s essential to create websites that are responsive and adjust to different screen sizes. CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Flexbox are commonly used for responsive layouts.

Testing: Testing is a crucial part of web development. Tools like Jest, Mocha, and Cypress help ensure your code works as expected. Unit testing, integration testing, and end-to-end testing are all part of a robust testing strategy.

Security: Web developers must prioritize security by implementing measures like HTTPS, data encryption, and secure authentication practices to protect users’ data and privacy.

6. Web Development Trends

Web development is always evolving, with new tools, techniques, and frameworks emerging. Some current trends include:

WebAssembly: A binary instruction format that allows running high-performance code in the browser, WebAssembly is gaining traction for building fast, client-side applications.

AI and Chatbots: More websites are integrating AI-powered chatbots and voice assistants to improve user experience and provide personalized interactions.

7. Conclusion

Web development is an exciting and rewarding field that offers vast opportunities to build and shape the digital world. Whether you’re interested in frontend, backend, or full-stack development, there’s a path for everyone. By learning the key technologies, staying up to date with trends, and practicing good development practices, you can create websites that are not only functional but also beautiful and user-friendly. With constant innovation and growing demand, web development is a career that will continue to evolve and remain at the heart of the digital revolution.

Utilizing Dialogflow CX To Develop A Self-Escalating Chatbot

Use Webhooks and Generators to build a self-escalating chatbot in Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX). Application developers must create chatbots that can accurately offer information and recognize when to escalate a user’s issue to a human agent, as conversational AI becomes an increasingly important aspect of the user experience.

This blog article will demonstrate how to use Google Cloud’s generative AI products, including Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) and Vertex AI, to build a self-escalating chatbot.

The solution has a number of advantages:

Better user experience: Even for complicated queries, users get quick help and accurate information.

Reduced agent workload: Agent effort is decreased since agents are given succinct recaps of prior exchanges, which enables them to handle problems quickly.

Improved chatbot capabilities: By learning from escalated requests, the chatbot can get better at handling encounters in the future.

Enhanced security and scalability: Cloud Run Functions (CRF) offers a safe and scalable environment for executing the webhook function.

Build the knowledge base

Suppose it would like a chatbot to respond to inquiries on Indian tourism. First, it will develop it using Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) and Vertex AI Agent Builder.

Datastore without structure: To use Vertex AI to index an article on “Tourism in India” as an unstructured datastore. This enables the chatbot to instantly access and extract pertinent information from the article, giving thorough responses to user inquiries.

Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX): To utilize Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) to create the conversational flow, which allows the chatbot to comprehend user intent and react accordingly.

Gauge user satisfaction

Asking the user if they are happy with the chatbot’s response is an essential part of the conversation flow that to include to guarantee user happiness. This is accomplished by employing “yes��� and “no” chips that are defined as part of the custom payload, giving consumers an easy-to-understand method of expressing their opinions.

Escalate with generative AI

The chatbot starts the escalation procedure if the user clicks “no,” indicating discontent. This is where generative AI’s capability is useful.

Generators: In Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX), it develop a generator called “Summarize_mail” that summarizes the discussion using a zero-shot prompt, which is a direct prompt without any examples. The body of an email is then created using this summary, giving the human agent context.

You are an English expert in summarizing the text in form of a very short mail. Summarize the conversation and write it in form of a concise e-mail which will be forwarded to an agent as a ticket. The mail should be on point, properly formatted and written in formal tone with a polite closure. Keep the text as less as possible. Also, specify the conversation messages below the summary which are present in the conversation. The conversation is as follows: $conversation The feedback of the user about the issue is $last-user-utterance.

Model setup: To assist guarantee logical and instructive summaries, this generator makes use of the Gemini-1.5-flash model with a temperature of 0.3.

Trigger the email with Cloud Run Functions (CRF)

To link it Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) agent to a serverless function that is set up on Cloud Run Functions via a webhook in order to send the email. The logic for sending emails is handled by this function.

Configuring Cloud Run Functions (CRF): The following options are used while configuring the CRF:

Python 3.12 is the runtime.

Setting: Second Generation

Point of entry: handle_webhook

Type of trigger: HTTPS

Allotted memory: 256 MiB

Settings for ingress: Permit all traffic.

Requirements: functions-framework==3 (requirements.txt).

For Dialogflow CX Webhooks, are you unsure which CRF version to select? Here’s how to make a decision quickly:

First Generation: Suitable for simple webhooks with less demanding performance needs, it is easier to set up and deploy.

Second Generation: Better suited for intricate webhooks or high-traffic situations, it provides greater flexibility, control, and scalability.

Connect the pieces

To guarantee that the escalation procedure is initiated appropriately when necessary, provide the URL of it installed CRF as the webhook URL in Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX).

Here’s how it all comes together

With a focus on the escalation process and the function of the CRF, this breakdown offers a thorough knowledge of the Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) flow architecture. Don’t forget to modify the email’s text, messages, and flow to fit your unique requirements and branding.

The name of the flow, such as “Customer Support Flow”

Pages: “Start Page” and “Escalate” are the two pages.

Start Page

Purpose: The goal is to greet the user and start a conversation while measuring their level of happiness.

Greeting entry fulfillment:

“Hello, name!” says the agent. Tell us how to may help you, please.

Datastore response entry fulfillment:

“Are you satisfied with the response?” asks the agent.

(This generates the “Yes” and “No” chips.) Custom payload

Routes:

Status: “Yes” chip was chosen

Transition: First page (Denotes that the discussion was successful.)

“Thank you!” says the agent. Do you need to assistance with anything else?

Situation: “No” chip was chosen

Transition: Page “Escalate”

“Sorry to hear that!” the agent says. (Recognizes user discontent.)

Escalate

Purpose: Providing the user with the choice to escalate to a human agent is the goal.

Fulfillment of entry:

“Would you like to escalate?” asks the agent.

(Identical “Yes” and “No” chips as the “Start Page”) Custom payload

Routes:

Situation: “No” chip was chosen

Change of Scene: “Start Page”

“Sure, Thank you!” the agent replies. (Permits the user to keep using the bot.)

Status: “Yes” chip was chosen

“Escalation Webhook” is the transition.

Webhook: Functions of Cloud Run (Starts the escalation procedure)

Goals:

It use the training terms “yes” and “no” to indicate the two intentions “confirm.yes” and “confirm.no.” This is equivalent to the user clicking on the “yes” and “no” chips or just writing the words or phrases that are comparable.

Cloud Run Functions (Escalation Webhook)

Trigger: When the “Escalate” page switches to the webhook, the HTTPS Eventarc trigger is triggered.

Usability:

Compile the history of the conversation: Using the $conversation in the generator prompt, which records the discussion between the agent and the user, excluding the user’s final utterance and the agent’s subsequent utterances, get and parse the whole conversation history from the Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) session.

Create a succinct synopsis of the discussion ($conversation), emphasizing any important user requests or problems.

Retrieve user data: Get the user’s email address (along with any other pertinent information) from your user database or the Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) session.

Write an email: Make an email using:

Topic: (for instance, “Escalated Conversation from [User Email]”)

Recipient: The email address of the support agent

CC: The email address of the user

Body:

Details about the user (e.g., name, ID)

Synopsis of the conversation

If accessible, a link to the entire discussion in Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX)

Send email: Send the email using the API provided by your email provider or an email sending library (such as sendgrid, mailgun, or smtp).

Optional return response: Notify Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) that the user’s request has been escalated by sending a response (e.g., “The mail is successfully sent!” or “Your request has been escalated”). An agent will be in touch with you soon.”

Chatbot testing and results

You may test the chatbot by clicking “Publish” and then “Try it now” after finishing the aforementioned steps.

A few examples of user journeys are as follows:

The user does not want to escalate further since they are dissatisfied with the response.

The user escalates as well since they are dissatisfied with the response. The right image below displays an example of triggered mail.

This method demonstrates how to integrate several Google Cloud services, such as Vertex AI, to create intelligent and intuitive chatbots.

This may anticipate even more creative solutions that improve client experiences as conversational AI develops further.

 4. Web Scraping for Data Collection

Collecting data from websites can be time-consuming if done manually. However, Python’s web scraping libraries, such as Beautiful Soup and Scrapy, make it possible to gather information from web pages automatically. For instance, if you regularly check for updates on a particular website, a Python script can be programmed to fetch this data for you and notify you when updates are made.

Although web scraping should be done responsibly and within the boundaries of the website’s terms of service, it’s an incredibly efficient way to collect information quickly and accurately. This is especially beneficial for tasks such as price tracking, market data collection, and social media trend analysis.

 5. Scheduling Tasks with Python

Python can also help you with scheduling tasks to run automatically. The `schedule` library allows you to set specific times for Python scripts to execute, creating a custom scheduler that can handle everything from reminders to automated reports. For instance, if you need a report generated every Monday, a simple Python script can pull the data, generate the report, and save it in a designated folder.

Scheduling scripts not only helps with time management but also ensures that you’re keeping up with regular, time-sensitive tasks without manually tracking them.

6. Python for Personal Productivity

Apart from work-related tasks, Python can assist with personal productivity as well. You can create scripts to remind you to drink water, take breaks, or follow your daily to-do list. Integrating Python with productivity tools like Google Calendar or Trello can further enhance your task management, providing reminders or notifications directly on your devices.
