So I'm now 2 hours into a 4 hour beginners course video about Python. This is good stuff so far. Part of my problem was an inability to read Python code and not being familiar with certain terms.

At work, they were encouraging us to just copy and paste code from the internet to accomplish tasks, but I like to actually understand what I'm doing if I'm gonna do something in a professional environment.

99% of everything I learned came from copy pasting & then modifying it to set how it changed as I messed around with stuff.

Maybe that's a little exaggeration. The biggest thing I ever just sat down and learned how to use organically is regular expressions.
