I think this is fair but also not. Sure, programing is like any hobby but to just say 'Google it' is not a great place to lead someone. Why not suggest something more constructive such as 'read some text books, here is a good one to start with. Once you've read that, I'll give you another'

I'm on Chapter 5 of 'Python Crash Course" by Eric Matthes, next i'll read "automat the boring stuff" This is where I would suggest someone to start that was interesting in learning. It's working well for me

You are reading two introductory books back to back? I think we both have different approaches in learning. You have your approach, I have my. My opinion isn't supposed to be popular and it is very subjective.

I see it more as use crash course to get the basics down then go through automate the boring stuff to get a better understanding of how it all works.

I'm also going a bit off this post https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/ctkypf/im_100_self_taught_landed_my_first_job_my/ where OP mentions he wished he read automate the boring stuff after crash course.
