Learning Python has been really hard so far. Here's a thread of me breaking down my process of learning it from 100% scratch so far (day 2)

Setting up a dev environment is the hardest part. Once that's done it's a lot easier to just try things and see what works.

There's no way that the phrase "a dev environment" means anything at all to somebody with 2 days of experience.

ty; it feels like my mentions are full of ppl trying to help with words like this
I remember going through the same thing. It takes a couple weeks before anything starts making sense. You're not just learning a programming language, you're learning the language *of* programming.

That's the tricky thing; at the start you don't know what you don't know, and people helping on the internet don't know what you do / don't know. So half the battle is figuring out how to ask the right questions. I'd love to help if you need I've taught lots of programming.
It boggles my mind how so many tech gurus don't understand that not everyone knows command line. I felt that "how does cmd know where to download install file from?" For a long time. I feel this thread so bad because there are soooo many steps people trying to help are skipping

You're trying to dive straight into something that takes most people months (or longer) to get comfortable with. You're trying to skip over the learning curve, because you're not actually interested in learning to code, you're only interested in solving a problem. [1/n]
