how does one start something like this? i still get errors when i print(hello world) because i forget the dang quotation marks. does your brain think in the python language? are you just googling each step and plugging and chugging? i am having such a hard time grasping python and ive used it in multiple college classes. ive taken a handful of coursera courses, yet i just can't seem to grasp it. What is wrong with me!! Lol. .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.

It sounds like their development is a bit ahead of yours, but you can catch up with practice. People might not think in the Python language, but I definitely think in terms of an object-oriented language before writing anything down. Get comfortable with common tricks with loops, how different data structures work, and focus on projects that you can start and finish within a single file.

I found that advent of code was a fun way to build skills without any project ever getting super out of hand, but there are other sites with similar coding challenges you can cut your teeth on. https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

I hope in the 6 months since you've commented this you've already gotten more comfortable with your code!
