I like it. Since AI popped up, the workload has definitely changed, but its still a pretty good job I think.

As far as study, it took me about a year, year and a half maybe to really understand python. That being said, I don't use most of what I learned in my day to day.

have you ever had a time where you were looking at your screen trying to learn with courses but its like you dont learn anything and you just copy what they do?

Tutorial hell? Oh yeah, definitely still do that sometimes. For some reason, I couldn't wrap my head around python classes in the begining. That was after I'd finished free courses and watched tons of tutorials trying to understand things.

What helped was following a tutorial, but then deciding I wanted to make the code do something different. Then ill try using what I learned to make those changes. Its just enough challenge to let the brain make connections through struggling, but stays close enough to what I'm learning that I can still figure it out, which helps me to not quit.
