When building AI agents, people tend to run into the same issues: 🫠 It kind of works, but I don’t know why. 🫠 The agent is hard to extend. 🫠 It’s hard to debug. If you’re just starting or feel stuck, check this free course by @t-redactyl.bsky.social 👉 bit.ly/415JPGd

Python has a flexible mechanism built into `pathlib` to look for files with filenames that follow a given pattern. You can use `[...-...]` to represent character ranges and `*` to match arbitrary text. But note that `glob` does NOT support regex syntax! This is just similar.
