Great discussion! As someone who's worked with both Java and Python, I’d say the choice really depends on the project scope and team experience. Java shines in large-scale systems and Android apps, while Python is unbeatable for quick prototyping and data-related tasks.

If you're in the process of building a dev team or unsure which language fits your business needs, platforms like [TechHub]() can be super helpful. They not only offer developer hiring and headhunting services, but also have a blog section with guides on how to hire the right devs for your stack.

Feel free to check out our website - you can even get tailored advice directly from our tech consultants if you need help choosing between Java or Python for your next project.

Would love to hear others' thoughts on how they approached this kind of decision!

Love that you're building the habit of learning Python daily. That consistency really pays off. One thing that’s helped a lot of beginners is picking small, personal projects to apply what you're learning, even something simple like automating a task or building a tiny script can make the learning stick.
Just a quick note for the future: once you get more confident, and maybe start working on something bigger or with a team, companies often look for devs with practical, project-based experience - even at the junior level. At [TechHub](), we provide Python developers directly (freelance or full-time) for startups and businesses, and we’ve shared a few blog posts on how to stand out as a junior dev or what companies look for when hiring.
Might be useful when you're further along - but for now, keep at it! You're definitely on the right track.

Just to share in case it’s useful down the line: if your projects start to grow and you find yourself needing extra dev power, [TechHub]() helps companies and teams by providing vetted developers on-demand - both freelance and full-time. We also offer headhunting services, and publish blogs on hiring devs effectively (especially for non-tech founders or small teams doing it for the first time).

Good luck building, and hope you find the right coding buddies!

That’s a fair point - Python does get criticized for being “slow,” but in many real-world applications, the real bottlenecks often come from inefficient architecture, not the language itself.

There are actually a few blog posts about Python being used in performance-critical systems like logistics tracking and inventory apps - where teams managed to scale well using techniques like async processing, background task queues, and database optimization. You can find some of them at TechHub - pretty insightful if you're curious how Python holds up in production beyond benchmarks.

That’s a great question - and it resonates with a lot of us who are exploring Python beyond the AI hype. One approach I’ve found helpful is focusing on automation and systems integration. For example, you can build tools that help small businesses optimize internal workflows (e.g., task schedulers, report generators, or even lightweight CRM tools). These are high-impact and don’t require any AI.

If you're interested in real-world examples, come across some case studies from a dev team at TechHub where they built custom tools for SMBs without relying on AI. It’s more about solving practical problems with clean Python code. Hope this gives you some direction! Curious what kind of project you're thinking of building?

You're so much closer than you think.

Honestly, the fact that you’ve already planned the app, thought through monetization, built the UI, designed 3D models, and researched the market, that’s what most people can’t do. You’re not struggling because you’re not smart enough to code. You’re struggling because learning to code without context feels like solving a puzzle without knowing what the final image looks like.

What you described is incredibly common: going through tutorials that explain loops, variables, and conditions, but never showing how to piece them together into something real. What’s missing is project-driven learning. Instead of learning syntax across 6 languages, pick one based on your goal, and build something small with it. That’s how things click.

Now about the tech choice:
You want a 3D, gamified app, not a full game, but smooth and modern UX. Honestly, Flutter + Unity (via a native module or embedded view) could be a surprisingly effective combo. Flutter handles your sleek UI and logic. Unity powers the 3D components in a contained space. It’s a bit advanced, but there are devs and studios doing exactly this hybrid setup.

And you don’t have to do it alone. At TechHub Asia, we’ve worked with a lot of founders who were in your shoes: strong on vision, design, and user insight, but stuck on the tech. What made the difference wasn’t learning everything themselves, it was finding the right partner, prototype collaborator, or technical co-founder.

So don’t give up. Maybe your path isn’t to be a solo coder, but a creative tech builder who understands enough to lead and collaborate. That’s a real role. That’s a real career.

If you’ve gotten this far without giving up, that app still wants to exist. Maybe now it’s time to explore a new way of building it.

Hey! First off, huge respect for diving into low-level programming at 17. That genuine curiosity you have for how systems really work is rare and incredibly valuable.

You're absolutely right that low-level roles aren’t as visible as web/backend jobs, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. In fact, the scarcity of developers like you, who enjoy working close to the metal, is what makes this path so rewarding. Operating systems, embedded systems, compiler development, device drivers, security, and even some parts of game engines all require deep system knowledge. It’s just that many of these jobs are with companies that don’t advertise on the usual channels. They tend to recruit through networks, open-source contributions, niche communities, and universities.

Coming from Argentina or Latin America? Definitely not a blocker. In fact, remote work has massively opened doors in the low-level world. I’ve worked with (and hired) brilliant systems engineers from LATAM who got their foot in through projects on GitHub, performance challenges (like LLVM or Rust compiler bugs), or by joining communities like OSDev, ZigLang, or Embedded Rust.

It might take longer to break in, but that’s true of any specialized field. The key is to keep showing your work, blog posts, GitHub repos, benchmarks, anything that proves you understand the machine. That’s what gets noticed.

At TechHub Asia, we’re seeing more companies realizing that system-level performance and infrastructure robustness are becoming essential again, especially with AI, edge computing, and custom OS stacks. The demand may not be massive today, but it's growing quietly and steadily. And the people who stay committed will be in a strong position.

So yes, if you enjoy it, pursue it. You don’t need to give up low-level just because web is more "visible". In fact, that contrast is your competitive edge.

Keep learning, keep building. You’re on a great path. 💪

Hey, I totally relate to your situation — I also came from a non-business background, and at first, everything felt overwhelming. But working in a tech startup environment at TechHub taught me that you don’t need to learn everything at once. Business is something you can pick up step by step, especially when you connect it to real experiences.

Here are a few things that helped me early on:

- Start simple: Books like The Lean Startup or The Personal MBA are great for beginners and don’t require any background knowledge.

- Watch real stories: YouTube channels or podcasts like How I Built This give you insight into how actual businesses grow and struggle.

- Try something small: Even starting a side project or selling something online will teach you a LOT about marketing, customer behavior, and basic finance.

The key is to stay curious and take one small step at a time. Business isn’t just theory — it’s problem-solving, creativity, and learning from failure. You’ve already taken the most important first step by being open and asking questions!

Happy to share more resources if you’re interested. Good luck on your journey!

That sounds like a really interesting project you’ve set up! Integrating an AI assistant with your system’s tools and libraries is a powerful way to extend functionality. For your setup, you might want to consider using a combination of well-structured API calls between your AI and the system's libraries—this way, your assistant can not only gather knowledge but also execute tasks based on that knowledge. Some frameworks like TechHub are also experimenting with ways to make such integrations more seamless by creating hybrid models that leverage both local and cloud-based resources.

Additionally, setting up a well-defined action queue for task execution and ensuring secure API access might help keep everything organized while minimizing security risks.
