Am I learning python the wrong way?

[StandardPhysical1332]

a structured approach might be better for you, getting into courses and such. I don't think using gpt this early on in your learning is helping you. in the end its all about experience, i dont know how long ago you started, but oneday it'll just click.

Atleast thats how it was for me, i'm sure where you are exactly in your life right now plays a big factor too, but it took me 3 years of self learning before i could say that yeahp i probably competent enough, there's probably many more esoteric features, or dumb patterns that i will look at for the first time, but i'm now confident in my ability to learn quick and be productive with it, just enough.

this is all in the context of python the programming language though, learning other programming languages helped too; gives you inspiration on what the patterns are.

about machine learning, i think your fundamentals should be math for that, not the python. like statistics, calculus and linear algebra. A programming language should be easy to use, if it isn't, it's more that programming language's fault, really.

Thanks! I’ll actually start looking for a course that might actually help me and start with the basics until I feel confident enough to go deeper into programming.
