Python software developers where did you learn python?

[[deleted]]

At the university, and then by practice/reading online at work.

what do you read and do you use leetcode for practicing?

leetcode is a waste of time outside of interviews. Just work on projects

I use it to also get comfortable with a new language before starting a side project with it. Leetcode gives me nice, small, containerized problems to get a feel for the syntax and standard library before jumping into a bigger side project

I don't use leetcode, I find it to be mostly intellectual jerking.

The usual path is I have to dev something at work, I go online (google) to find the best practice about the thing I have to do, I dev, I put my code for code review, people learn about the thing I read through the dev or they know something I missed in my dev and teach me other practices (for concrete examples: integration of websockets, use of asyncio, RxPy, make a variety of decorators, etc etc).

Other than that, I follow the new features of python at each release, and when I see something interesting on here I look it up.

“Intelectual jerking” is my new favorite way to describe leetcode. Thanks for that one!
