Discussion
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
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
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?
Well put. It definitely sums it up, for medium level users like ourselves. But it's capable of much more
"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"
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 )
