🚀 Day 4 of #100DaysOfDevOps: Python Regular Expressions with Practical Examples

Prashant Lakhera — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 16:55:37 +0000

Regular expressions are one of those topics many engineers avoid at first because they look intimidating. But once you understand the basics, regex becomes a powerful everyday tool for DevOps and backend work.

In today’s session, we focused on practical regex usage in Python, not theory. We covered real-world examples like matching phone numbers, email addresses, URLs, and IP addresses, and how regex helps simplify validation, parsing, and text processing tasks you deal with daily.

Regex is less about memorizing symbols and more about thinking in patterns. With enough practice, it starts to feel natural.

🚀 Day 3 of #100DaysOfDevOps: Can AI Help Debug Linux Boot Process Issues?

Prashant Lakhera — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 02:58:08 +0000

Can AI help debug Linux boot process issues?

Boot failures are some of the hardest problems to debug in Linux. No SSH, no monitoring, partial logs, and often just a black screen. In today’s session, we explore why boot debugging is so difficult and how AI can assist engineers in accelerating root cause analysis, without replacing deep Linux knowledge.

📌 Compare OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic using a single prompt📌

Prashant Lakhera — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 05:49:52 +0000

I always wanted a way to write one prompt and run it across OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic, side by side.

During a live demo, a student asked if such a tool exists. I didn’t have a good answer.

So I vibe-coded it over the weekend.

Now you can:

• Run a single prompt on multiple LLMs

• Compare responses instantly

• Pick the model that works best for your use case

• Skip jumping across 3 different dashboards

One prompt. Multiple models. Clear decisions.

Prashant Lakhera — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:03:56 +0000

Huge congratulations to Taher 👏

Thank you to everyone who participated, your interest and enthusiasm truly mean a lot.

That said, I want to be honest.

I received many entries, but quite a few were clearly copy-pasted AI responses (some even left the quotes and formatting untouched). I completely understand, we all use AI (I do too, heavily).

👉 But what I’m really looking for is your thinking, your story, and your intent.

A little human touch goes a long way.

A couple of gentle reminders for future entries:

❌ Please don’t copy-paste AI responses as-is

❌ And please don’t DM/ping me, I mentioned this clearly

If you didn’t win this time, don’t lose hope 🙌

I’m running this giveaway every Thursday, so you’ll have many more chances. Good luck next time!
