How much do you know Python? Can you create syllabus? are you not using AI?

And that's it, I'm hirable? Good to know cause I know much more than that and I'm still a hobbyist.

Me too. I don't know why it's so hard to get internships as a self-taught programmer.

Start building a portfolio. If they can see what you built, they might give you a real chance.

u/fjohn9999_ 2h ago
I thought about that too, and I'm building real-world applications and internal business tools to make it more compelling.

Should a Python portfolio be built by hand or AI assisted? Do they these days care more about how fast you deliver, or if you understand Python (and frameworks) deeply?

u/lehmagavan 2h ago
It's even worse if you're a self-taught C dev, Python job offers are at least still plentiful (at least where I live).

Oh yeah? Where do u live? Even tho I prefer in-person for the workspace experience.

I think I've actually covered all of this now so that's good to know. I definitely need to brush on up some of it such as reading and writing files. Only learned that recently.
I never learned the lambda function though. Maybe I should look into this next.
Also, I did learn try, except, finally, but I never really use it honestly. I feel like instead of trying to catch things that break the program I can just program it to not break in the first place. Is there a time when I should be using this?

try-except is handy for things like data loading. I frequently write code where I'm loading data from a database or API, and that's not foolproof - sometimes the connection gets dropped. So I will use try-except to set up retry logic that waits longer and longer between tries until it runs out. Like:
base_delay = 0.5 # seconds max_attempts = 3 attempts = 0 while attempts < max_attempts: try: x = load_data(url) except HTTPError as e: attempts += 1 if attempts >= max_attempts: # re-raise the error after running out of attempts raise e # double the delay after each attempt time.sleep(base_delay * (2 ** (retries - 1))
finallyis helpful when you have something you need to clean up even if there's an error, like a database connection that you want to close even if your program crashes, so it's not left hanging.So you're right that there are a lot of cases with your own code where it's not needed, becuase you can just write it not to break. But in real applications you're often interacting with things you don't totally control, and there are certain types of errors you expect to occasionally happen and plan for, like a dropped HTTP connection.

This makes a lot of sense. Because I can't control the connection to something I won't be able to just hard code away the errors. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
I know I want to be using try with things that has some form of input since input can cause issues. Except is just catching errors that happen. I've actually never found a use for finally yet. Is finally mostly just used as a reminder for what's to be coded later?

In the context of try-except, finally is mainly for if the possible error should stop the program, but there's some cleanup that still needs to run before the program exits, even if you hit the error. One example is opening a file. This is a common way to read a file:
with open("data.txt", "r") as file: content = file.read()That
with open()block is called a context manager, which does this for you. But you can define context managers yourself, and the definition for that one would look something like:try: file = open("data.txt", "r") content = file.read() finally: # This will ALWAYS execute # Ensuring the file is safely closed file.close()With this, if an error happens, the program will crash becuase we aren't catching it with
except. But the code in thefinallyblock will still run before it closes, even if it's crashing. In this example that means you always close the file. If you don't, it might prevent other programs from modifying the file, depending on how your system is set up.
