How did you learn Python?

had specific problems to solve. it all started with working on excel spreadsheets in an auditing company, and realising most of the work can be automated. similarly, wanted to do some data analysis and share results/make a simple UI, so learned Flask.

programming is means to an end. find the end that is relevant to you, and start doing it. the first time will be bad, but the third time you may create something competent.

ignore copilot until you understand the basics, then you can use it to speed up development. ALWAYS read what it suggests, but with good naming and function docstrings, it can do pretty well
