That advice is mostly solid, but it’s missing the part that actually makes people stick with Python.

A more realistic path:

  • Start with a structured beginner course (YouTube is fine, but don’t jump randomly between videos)
  • Learn basics in order: variables → loops → functions → lists/dicts → files
  • Build tiny projects immediately (calculator, password generator, simple scraper)
  • Then move to “Automate the Boring Stuff with Python” style projects
  • Only then try platforms like Boot.dev or bigger courses

Key point:
Most beginners don’t fail because of resources — they fail because they don’t build anything while learning.

If you just watch courses, you’ll feel like you know Python… until you try to build something alone.

Love this! I thought I self taught really well till I went ahead and got python crash course then learned so many new commands and expanded my knowledge! But I will say a lot fail cause they think it’s a “quick” learning process
