Honestly think it’s worth learning the basics from the ground up via CS50p or some random YouTube series rather than trying to jump in at this level. CS50p lessons are under an hour, and include environment set up instructions.

idk i started out with a 'basics' tutorial but then got bored/demotivated; it's hard for me to learn if im not trying to directly solve a problem i care about
and the thing i care about is importing a csv

Haha, I know the struggle well. Luckily for you, lotsa nerds follow you. Share more details and we’ll help fill in the gaps! What editor are you using to type text?

I appreciate this, but without the basic fundamentals you'll get from those early tutorials, you won't be loading your CSV into anything in a way you can take next steps with.
I usually start by learning variables and how to count, then some input, output, & if/else.

This is why actual coders are rare. A perverse level of perseverance is required. It may sound a bit chauvinistic but I rarely find this aggressive level of willingness to bang your head against the very basics of problems just to gain an inch of progress in women.
