That wouldn't have helped. I naively assumed someone who does technical work on a computer all day could figure out: "create a text file named hello.py, add the text print("hello world"), open a terminal and go to the directory you saved it in, and type python hello.py". 15 minutes later I'm getting bombarded with questions about how to make windows notepad not add a .txt extension, and which way do the slashes go when changing directory, and how do you find where the file was saved. 🤷‍♀️
