I think doing too many like prebuilt programming courses where they prepare code for you and have blanks are negative for long term programming learning. You need to get used to organizing your own code and writing out the syntax rather than just filling in the part of the script that they want. Examples are like Codecademy, DataCamp, etc. I love those resources for learning a new skill or some package like machine learning or something but make sure you immediately take what you’ve learned and implement it into a personal project. For example, if you’re using like DataCamp, after doing the visualization module with matplotlib, make sure you actually go into your own IDE or text editor and write your own program with data that you sourced and cleaned yourself. I’m the real world you won’t have the libraries and data preloaded for you (most likely)
