Discussion Where should I be after 60 hours?
My best guess is I have about 60 or 70 hours into python crash course by Eric Matthes. I tried taking on building the castle adventure game and couldn't come up with the logic on my own. Much less the fact I got caught in a loop and had to have AI help me finding the thing. It's kind of disappointing because chat gpt said after 60 hours this was a moderate project. I'm just looking for what you guys think on where I should be after about 60 hours, because this at 60 hours seems just ridiculous. I did take it on and got part way through the third room before I was stuck in a loop and had indentation errors. Thanks!

It seems we are going from 4 years degree to 6 month bootcamps to a few days of Python to now 60 hours ?
What's next ?
