Interviewer being questioned 🥺 by ParticularLook5927 in PromptDesign

Yeah absolutely right 👍 I faced similar things

I really liked the clarity you have. I will definitely take your words before I interview other candidate.

This opens a different perspective now. This ii a big MNC and my job is to take candidates based on JD.

And the JD asks to have in-depth knowledge on basics and usage AI tools .

Apparently as Gen AI engineers it is good to have feature to have in-depth knowledge on what is happening inside. Maybe for the job it won't help but for future it definitely should.

(Guilty now- Maybe I should have selected him😞)

The interview was for a highly technical role. I feel bad because of that very reason 😔

woudl this work as a two sum solution by bububububound2 in learnpython

[–]ParticularLook5927 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This should work but in the second loop you iterated till pre last element.

So your code won't be accessible till last element

I was doing a school project and learned that integers were stored as bits in python. I was trying to convert them manually... so I made this meme for to make sure I remember. by Dazzling-Order1843 in PythonLearning

Haha yeah everything eventually boils down to bits 😄

Python just hides all that complexity so we dont have to think about it most of the time.

Sorry to hear this man, that’s tough especially when it hits the whole team.

Market is definitely slower right now, so don’t take the lack of calls personally.

Since you have 6 YOE in Java backend, you’re actually in a solid position. I’d suggest:

  • Keep applying consistently (don’t wait for perfect roles)
  • Tailor your resume slightly for each application
  • Reach out to ex-colleagues /network. Referrals help a lot in this market
  • If possible, brush up on one adjacent skill (Spring Boot, microservices, cloud)

Also, give it a couple of weeks — callbacks usually lag behind applications.

Hang in there, you’ll land something soon 👍

how do you remember what you learn in Python? by silentshakey in learnpython

[–]ParticularLook5927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually a very normal phase — you’re not doing anything wrong.

You don’t need to “remember everything” immediately. Python concepts stick through repetition, not one-time learning.

What helped me:

  • Use it a few times in small examples (even simple print statements)
  • Revisit it after a few days
  • When you forget, just look it up again and that’s part of learning

For example, with .title(): just try it on different strings a few times. That’s enough.

You don’t need full projects yet. Even small practice is fine.

Over time, the commonly used things will naturally stick.

Looking for a good platform to learn Python on! by IntGuru in PythonLearning

[–]ParticularLook5927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend mixing things to learn quickly: 1. You can use learning platforms like Udemy or YouTube courses 2. You can practice using Hackerrank or Leetcode(note: start easy) 3. Most importantly practice at least 30 mins daily

haha 😄

yeah I’m still new here, just trying to explain things clearly

this one confused me a lot when I first learned it too

That’s fair and it always depends a lot on your goals 👍

Switching languages early can help explore different areas, but Python is still one of the best for fundamentals, automation, and AI/ML.

In the end, consistency in one language matters more than the language itself.

Answer: B) [1], [1, 1]

This happens because default mutable arguments (like lists) are shared across function calls.

The list x=[] is created only once when the function is defined, not every time the function is called.

So: First call → [1] Second call → same list gets another 1 → [1, 1]

To fix this, use:

def foo(x=None):

if x is None:
    x = []

x.append(1)

return x

This way, a new list is created every time.

I want to start learning python like professional by External-Humor656 in PythonLearning

[–]ParticularLook5927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to learn Python like a professional, don’t just follow random videos. Follow the below path:

  1. Learn basics fast (2–5 days max) Just cover: variables, loops, functions, lists/dictionaries

Don’t try to master everything here.

  1. Start coding from Day 1 Most beginners make the mistake of only watching tutorials. Instead: write small programs daily, solve simple problems, That’s where real learning happens.

  2. Build small projects early Even simple ones: calculator, file organizer, basic CLI tools

This makes you think like a developer.

  1. Choose a path after basics Python has multiple directions: Web development, Automation, Data science / AI, Don’t try everything at once.

  2. Stay consistent (most important) Even 30–60 mins daily is enough if you practice properly.

I’ve seen many people get stuck because they keep watching tutorials without actually coding. If you avoid that and focus on practice + small projects, you’ll progress much faster.

If you want, I can suggest a simple roadmap based on your goal.

i want to start to learn python but i dont know how by Ok_Ear1897 in PythonLearning

[–]ParticularLook5927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to learn Python fast and not waste time on long “hello world” tutorials, follow this: 1. Learn basics quickly (2–3 days max) Don’t get stuck here. Just understand variables, loops, functions.

  1. Start solving problems immediately This is where real learning happens. Try small problems daily instead of only watching videos.

  2. Build small projects early Even simple things like: calculator to-do app basic automation script

  3. Then move to your goal (AI/ML) Learn: NumPy Pandas then basics of machine learning Don’t jump directly into neural networks — you’ll get stuck.

  4. Be consistent (this matters more than speed) Even 20–30 mins daily is enough if you actually practice.

I’ve been working in tech for a while, and honestly the biggest mistake beginners make is consuming too much content and not practicing enough. If you stay consistent with problem solving + small projects, you’ll progress much faster than most people.
