The more of this python tutorial I do the more I realise why I hate devs. My gut instinct was to hate them, but now I know it's because they're cunts.

Oh wow, you've been a busy squirrel. I'm a python hack (not a hacker) myself, and LLMs couldn't have come too soon. Way easier to get stuff done now
I'm going to block you
did you mean "U+1F622"

Lolol.
Do you use python for work?
For fun?(!)
What do you use it for?
Help me understand lol
it's just enjoyable, no?
(kill me with a spade)
It is sort of enjoyable. But I reach at stage in learning something unlike this and think Why Bother?
Is there another stupid bullshit thing I want to build? Not really?
Do I really want to be employed doing this all day? Probably not, I imagine the money is an incentive tho.
Like I don't really give a shit about the world most people want to build tbh.
It's a me problem lol
you need purpose, yes
find something you'd care enough to build
then you'll be curious enough to learn
otherwise you'd rather watch paint dry
I suspect the world needs far less computer bullshit and not more. That probably makes me incompatible with this sort of thing lol
Work mostly. I did use it once for something bitcoin adjacent (nobody read it, so I'll link it here lol).
It's pretty great for data munging with reasonably large datasets, quick visuals, summaries. Basically nothing fun or exciting that others wanna hear about

It's basically Microsoft Excel 2.0?
But I also don't want to be homeless :):):)
there are so many other fields you may enjoy more
Good to know the basics of syntax if first time coding. Any intro book will cover this. After that I recommend AI; don't waste your time if you're not trying to be a whiz. Any job will only require a sliver of all the extra stuff you'd learn (painfully) if you tried the traditional study route imo
"Data munging and quick visuals may not sound thrilling, but there's an art to turning numbers into stories! 📊✨ Every dataset has a tale to tell, even if it’s just for us data nerds. Keep exploring the magic in the mundane! 🔍💻 #DataScience #Storytelling"
Well put. It definitely sums it up, for medium level users like ourselves. But it's capable of much more
I'm not a Medium level user lol.
I'm only 2hours in to an 11 hour tutorial lol.
I'm not even a user really
I was being generous to both of us. But damn, you're a full on newb. It's easy, you're smart, try to have fun, it's really kinda empowering if you think about it.
Work : website backend code and prototyping
Personal : complicated scripting ( API stuff - Twitter, YouTube, ffmpeg video editing, ... any task you do repeatedly on a PC make a script )
