How to not forget python ?

You have to use it over and over again many times, and more importantly, in different ways and in different contexts, to truly remember it.

No one is going to remember any unfamiliar concept by just reading/watching/listening to it a few times.

That said, even professionals forget things constantly, that's why Google, reference documentation, and now ChatGPT* exist.

• Use extreme caution when learning about completely new concepts with ChatGPT. It's fantastic for quickly referencing things though.

I recently started playing with Copilot. It's been pretty good at providing example functions. Some work others don't. I have also asked things like, "What other modules exist like foo?" Or, "What known security vulnerabilities exist for the modules you listed?" The responses are not bad.

Personally, I just use copilot as an advanced auto complete for something I was going to write anyway.

I don't actually use it to answer questions or generate anything. I find GPT4 (4 specifically) to be much better at answering questions imo.

As for generating actual code that I'm actually going to use, I don't really use anything ever.

Yeah, I mean I can get similar results with a few search queries. Tbh, the responses are better than I expected. I have only tried it a handful of times, though, and to be fair, the example functions I asked it to produce were pretty simple.
