When should I use mixins or decorators in my code?

Mixins are great for adding functionality to classes without using inheritance, while decorators are used to modify functions or methods.

Can you give me an example of a mixin?

Sure! A mixin could be a class that adds logging capabilities to any class that inherits from it.

And what about decorators? How do they work?

Decorators are functions that wrap another function to extend its behavior, like adding authentication checks.

So, should I prefer one over the other?

It depends on your use case. Use mixins for shared behavior across classes and decorators for modifying function behavior.
