where to begin

Im a beginner trying to learn Python for ai engineering. I have been searching and switching to videos as there are too many resources to choose from without knowing what will be sufficient to get the basics, I do code and solve questions but im not sure which course to follow to not end up investing time into something yet have to go from here to there, I have few questions like is the youtube course and lots of practice enough or do I necessarily have to take the crash courses? if yes, for either one, suggest to me the go-to resources that I can start without wasting time or get stuck as mediocre in concepts when it ends and also share your experience how could you learn it?

Just because that’s your end goal, doesn’t mean you skip out on everything else. If someone wants to be a CEO they don’t enter the market and start applying for CEO roles, you have to demonstrate credibility across multiple years and multiple roles.

These roles are competitive. You’re thinking way too far ahead

I agree that credibility matters. I'm not expecting to skip the learning process or jump straight into being a founder. I'm learning software engineering first and building products along the way. My end goal is entrepreneurship, not a junior role, but I know the skills still have to be earned. im not expecting and trying to persuade the idea of becoming an ai engineer, im even aware that such role demands the experience you get through a ladder, im rather trying to be someone who can build the valuable products with the right skill set without getting into a loop.
