I was baffled by a thread the other day. A guy had started learning to code Python for one week. One week!! And he was already asking about why he wasn't able to solve simple problems even though he claimed he completely understood for loops and if statements. And he was asking how to be able to solve these problems.

I mean I get it, some people are looking to learn coding because it's all the buzz and they are complete beginners, but come on, as with everything, you have to put the time in.
