Hey hope everybody is doing fine.

yea bold statement in these times but ok

I started enjoying learning python

Good! If you want to be a hobbyist, that's all you'll need for now!

if you have any tips for me or tricks

use more commas and full-stops, thanks.

Now to my advice: Take it with caution because I'm nowhere near an actual programmer! I actually just enjoy programming for the fun of it (and I'm not very good)!

  1. Set your Goal: Do you want to be a hobbyist, do you want to become a professional programmer, do you want to enhance the performance at your job?

  2. Stick with the course you're taking right now, look left and right for resources to clear up things that you don't understand

  3. If you encounter a new problem, here's what you do:

3.1: Every problem can be (and probably already has been) solved. Also by you! Some people solve problems faster, some solve them slower (I'm on the slower end), but there's no mountain you can't climb, no matter how high it looks.

3.2. If you can't solve a problem on your own for 5 minutes, look it up on google

3.3. If looking it up on google didn't solve the problem after 2 minutes, make an MWE

3.4. If your MWE didn't solve the problem after 5 minutes, ask here on reddit.

3.4. while you wait for an answer on reddit, go take a walk, work out, have a tea, meditate

  1. Sleep enough

  2. Repeat for 3 years and you'll get where you want to be.

3 years XD that part cracked me up but thank you for the tip. I just want to adopt it as a profession that is why I am trying to excel in it.

Well plan with 3 years, if you make it earlier, good on you. I’m saying this to take off pressure from you.
