Learning python update: I seem to have crossed some threshhold into "being able to google things"; after asking a lot of people a lot of questions, I now have a vague intuition for how coding kind of "works", which is making it *way* easier to figure things out myself.

Twice now I've asked other coders a question, they didn't know the answer (despite googling), and then I went away and figured it out on my own. This was *stupidly* satisfying (i'm not any more skilled, just put way more total time into it, but it feels SO empowering)

the feeling of cracking a problem in coding is really an amazing high, i had no idea how good it would be Anyway I think I crossed this threshold at around... maybe 15-20 hours of direct focused learning

I said "if anybody wants to help me learn, join a tg chat," and so i had a bunch of ppl who were answering questions i asked. it was very chaotic but I really loved it; each question I got like 4-5 answers from diff ppl at differing levels, and one of them usually worked for me
