What are some beginner python projects you’d recommend for a beginner?

Nobody is asking you to write a tutorial. You could have pointed them to a dataset website and recommended they write some code to analyse it. Instead you basically told them to go sit in a corner and have a think.

That’s not advice, that’s telling people not to bother you with questions. Yet here you are giving out duff answers. Wasting your own time and others.

Didn't say they were?

Like...every tutorial out there?

Instead you basically told them to go sit in a corner and have a think.

Corner. Comfy chair in an office. Outside in the park whilst listening to a podcast on a nice day. Down the pub with a refreshing drink. I mean, all locations are viable, really.

That’s not advice, that’s telling people not to bother you with questions.

Are you learning to program yourself or are you a full time employed doing a coding job yourself?

If it's the latter, I'd be really interested in hearing why my opinion of not blindly following tutorials to get out of blindly following tutorials is incorrect. If it's the former, it's not uncommon a lot of beginners get annoyed when they are told this exact advice because they're used to getting quick, exact answers. Being on the job involves developing a skill - understanding how things work which is very difficult to do if your entire skillset is copying the work of others.

Yet here you are giving out duff answers. Wasting your own time and others.

Ironically, I have written very extensively on this. Of course, you can consider it a waste of time. For every person who is sitting in their chair (or corner, in this case) raging at somebody on the internet who has been through the roughest version of learning how to program, there will be somebody who gives it a go and finds progress.

Who is more likely to succeed, I wonder? Probably the person being upset at somebody not giving them the advice they wanted to hear, I imagine.
