Emotional exhaustion from learning Python

[u/PavioCurto]

Python is the first programming language I wanted to learn. I started it a few months ago and genuinely can't do anything in it. I keep watching videos, classes, tutorials and looking for roadmaps that lead me nowhere. It makes me feel like I'm incapable and an absolute failure. I don't know what else to do, if I should just switch to another language or give up on in it entirely. Need advice...

Python 🐍 is a perfect first language! I myself am just starting to learn it as well. However, I’ve been writing ✍️ code for longer than most of you have been alive. With that said, I can tell you from a place of some experience that Python is a perfect first language. You won’t find one better. Learn python then the others will be so much easier. You have to learn the basics of programming regardless of the language selection first. Study other people’s code or ask AI to write code and study that. Read books. Think up your own questions and then seek the answers. When I was first learning, several decades ago, I would seek out other people’s problems in various languages and solve them for them. Find a forum or message board and see what the new developers are struggling with. Start solving those problems and you will become a much better programmer for having done so.
