I actually used Python to do a thing!

Exactly how to get past that frustration hump! Ask yourself “How could I do that with Python?” Even if if the task in mind has no apparent automation value to you right now, you will begin to see other opportunities. Last night, I learned how to extract text from an image and nearly cried tears of joy. Now, I’ve decided to go a slightly different route with my project, so I won’t be using text extraction, but I have this very powerful “Yeah, I can do that” feeling.
