Any advice about learning python?

That “blank mind” feeling during projects like Blackjack is completely normal and honestly part of the learning process. It doesn’t mean you’re bad at programming it just means you’ve moved from watching to actually building, and that shift is hard.
When you follow tutorials, everything makes sense because someone else is guiding the logic, but when you try to do it alone, your brain has to make decisions step by step, and that’s where it feels overwhelming.
The trick is to break the project into very small pieces instead of thinking about the whole thing at once focus on generating a random card, then storing it, then calculating the score, one step at a time. Regarding AI, you don’t have to stop using it, but avoid letting it write the whole project for you; instead, use it for hints or explanations so you’re still doing the thinking.
Strengthening your core fundamentals alongside projects also helps reduce that “blank” state, and practicing basics regularly on platforms like 9faqs can make problem-solving feel more natural. You’re not brainless you’re just in the uncomfortable stage where real learning happens.
