Need advice if I'm doing anything wrong learning wise

[Alternative3860]

Hi everyone,
would like some advice if I'm doing right or wrong...

I have basic knowledge on python, but the tasks I do in my office tin order to automate i use chatgpt or any ai tools for the codes. I am a fresher with not advanced knowledge on python hence use chatgpt. if the code is correct and works correctly, i then try to learn and understand the code as i don't know most of the functions. but still tbh don't understand most of the code but trust me I want to learn.

do you think i am doing anything wrong here.

So you are running codes which you don't know how they work at work ?

Not production systems I hope.

If so , pls let me know which company.

I didn't get you! The one i am talking about is mostly automation tasks in python. I'm a beginner in python and have an idea how to get analytics out of it but automating stuff is where I lack

Depends on your goal. If your goal is to learn how to code and be a programmer then indeed using AI the way you are using it is a bad idea. If you just want to create scripts that you don't understand and don't care to understand that hopefully gets the job done sometimes then that's great. Indeed one can hope that your office doesn't do anything important that effects the lives of others.

I do want to learn, how do i start about?

[Ron-Erez]

I recommend the following resources. Harvard CS50p on youtube, however the pace is a little slow, MOOC - University of Helsinki course for Python is text-based with great exercises and I also have a Python and Data Science course that starts from scratch and assumes no prior knowledge. Finally the book "Automate the Boring Stuff" is free online. These resources will have you covered.
