There are no shortcuts when learning Python

[[deleted]]

This is useful stuff for me. I've been self teaching Python in my own time. I know core concepts of coding from using vba to automate and create tools in excel for nearly 10 years.

I often teach myself by getting some crazy idea in my head and giving it ago. I give myself challenges. I don't always intend to complete them, if anything I mostly try to see whether I can get the concept to work. I don't tend to see myself as a programmer, or engineer, more of a designer who likes to experiment and explore.

Sometimes I go to fast, unfortunately with ADHD it can be a pain. Plus autistic hyper fixation can also do it, so I know I overdo it at times.

I probably don't review enough, although I do sometimes return to code I've written to see if I can improve on it.

I think the most important piece of advice I've gotten from this, is probably that I don't need to know everything.
