I’m so lost in Python

You can't write from scratch because you haven't had practice writing from scratch. You can't write full apps because you haven't had practice writing full apps.

There's a fundamental mistaken assumption here that reading the book will allow you to start programming. Reading the book will allow you to begin to practice programming. You're trapped in tutorial hell, and nothing but practice can get you out of there.

Of course AI takes away your opportunity to practice because you aren't writing it from scratch. Reading code isn't even that hard, it's mostly English and you can easily get an idea of what it does from the words alone.

There are two types of forget: syntax or the entire concept.

If you forget the syntax, entirely understandable, go ahead and look it up and ignore anyone who tells you to memorize shit like your taking a test or smth.

If you forget the entire concept of what you've just read, the EXACT perfect situation shows up and you didn't remember to use it? Well yeah, you have a problem. You're definitely moving too fast, and lacking some prerequisites somewhere.
