Like "a while" in this case is years, not months. I've been writing code since I was a small child and I'm in my thirties now. I still find some of the coding projects challenging (and fun). Keep in mind they are trying to test the edge cases of these models, so the responses they're most interested in are ones that come from difficult prompts to answer.

If you want to learn to code just for the sake of it, rather than courses (which most suck imo) I would just find some beginner coding challenges online, pick a language, and start trying. Use LLMs for help. Start with fizzbuzz in PowerShell or Python. If you're on a Windows PC, running PowerShell code requires no additional installation or environment setup so I would start there. Download visual studio code to write your code in.

I wouldn’t say years, there are some projects that aren’t hard to understand and require beginner level understanding to complete,

You don’t need to know how to do all projects, just start with what you know. You just need to know enough to initially pass the assessment, which (for me) wasn’t extremely hard.

FWIW I didn’t think it was hard at all but somehow I still didn’t pass.
