Software Design in Python - Stop Hardcoding Everything: Use Dependency Injection

→ Check out Thesys here: https://www.thesys.dev/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=creators&utm_campaign=arjan In this video, I explore how Dependency Injection can make your Python code cleaner, more testable, and easier to extend, using a real-world data pipeline example. I start with a tightly coupled version and progressively refactor it using manual injection, a lightweight custom DI container, and even show how frameworks like FastAPI handle DI under the hood.
