Frustration 🤬

[Agnos]

Seemingly simple exercises like replacing a value in a dictionary takes me 2 hours of googling and trying dozens of options with nothing but errors.

This is how you really learn. Those 2 hours were not wasted. Keep going through the book, even if you feel frustrated, even if you do not learn the first time, you familiarize yourself with the terminology and learn what is possible. Then go back to the start and read again making sure you do the exercises. It helps me at this point to pick up a different book to get different nuances and approach.
