🔍 A single underscore in Python can make the difference between robust code and bug-prone code

🐍 In Python, underscores (_, __, __dunder__) are not just aesthetics:

  • ✔️ They help distinguish between public and private interfaces
  • ✔️ They prevent name collisions in inheritance
  • ✔️ They improve code readability and maintainability

🏭 Writing Pythonic code is not only a matter of style, but also of scalability, collaboration, and production quality.

📘 If you work in software development, AI, or ML, mastering these conventions is key to building clean and sustainable solutions.
