Last quiz of the track. Eight questions on the scale-up patterns — pagination caps, streaming-style read+process, caching, chained transformations, multi-tool helpers, and the final synthesis. 80% to pass.
When you pass: you have the full Patterns kit. Reliability primitives + scale-up patterns + the discipline to compose them on a small generic input. The shape of every meaningful real-world Python automation.
| Lesson | Concept |
|---|---|
| 23 | Pagination at scale — MAX_PAGES, MAX_ITEMS, for/else warning on cap-hit |
| 24 | Streaming read+process — process per page, not collect-then-process |
| 25 | Caching reads — _cache dict for invariants of a run |
| 26 | Chained transformations — named intermediates for debuggability |
| 27 | Multi-tool helpers — wrap each tool's plumbing in named functions |
| 28 | Final synthesis — 6 primitives across one tool with multi-tool shape |
Automation Patterns kit, in dependency order:
Four weeks. Six primitives per week. Every primitive demonstrated on the smallest generic input. The skill: recognize a real problem's shape and assemble the right primitives.
Deferred to Automation Advanced (post-v1):
None are required to ship your first dozen production-grade automations. The Patterns kit is enough.
