So I’m an on/off noobie but have been focusing on actually sticking with programming what I’ve been working on is Python but this question is for programming in general. For me it’s hard but I want to see how I can get better

Like are these good ways to get good:

Follow tutorials, then work on ways of adding your own twists or changes? Or trying to code it in something else?

Work on assignments from a resource you’re using like in my case Python Crash Course and attempt to redo the assignments without looking back?

Experiment with multiple libraries and library methods or built in methods?

Please share any other ways especially ones that helped you

Also when would be good to start a new language after learning one

    Haha, I feel that… My first bash script to loop over my files and use mkv or ffprobe to modify either metadata or encode my files were if statements for every file xD

    It worked but was ugly as fuck, tedious and surely not efficient… I had to change each file name manually…

    I keep those scripts as “things of the past” to remember myself where I come from :) I’m still chuckling seeing those horrible things, but they worked and I was happy that I did it all by my self :D.
