### The Problem:
Dear gentlemen (and ladies!), have you ever found yourself drowning in tedious, repetitive tasks that drain your time and energy? I feel your pain. As a self-taught Python coder, I often struggled with manual data entry and processing tasks that left me feeling overwhelmed and unproductive.
### The Solution:
But fear not, for I bring great news! Last night, I successfully wrote a code that automated a process which previously took me 20 minutes to complete. 🎉 Imagine the relief and joy I felt when I realized that I had reclaimed that precious time for more meaningful pursuits.
Here are some practical solutions that helped me achieve this coding breakthrough:
### 1. Embrace Online Resources:
Utilize online platforms like Stack Overflow, GitHub, and Python documentation to troubleshoot issues and expand your coding knowledge. These resources are invaluable for self-taught developers seeking guidance and support.
### 2. Practice Consistently:
Consistent practice is key to mastering Python coding. Set aside dedicated time each day to work on coding projects, solve coding challenges, and build your skills. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day!
### 3. Join Coding Communities:
Connect with like-minded individuals in coding communities such as Reddit’s r/learnpython, Python Discord, or local coding meetups. Surrounding yourself with fellow developers will boost your motivation and provide a supportive network for learning and growth.
In conclusion, the journey of a self-taught Python developer is filled with challenges and triumphs. Keep pushing forward, stay curious, and never underestimate the power of a well-written code. 🐍✨ Remember, every line of code brings you one step closer to your coding dreams. #KeepCoding #PythonPride
What did the program do/automate? Just out of curiosity
This Is The Way
A program, you have written.
There’s no xkcd for this
^((he said, hoping that someone else will do the work of finding it for him))
You forgot the loop. It saves you 30 minutes (FOR) EACH time you’re using it.
This dude is ready for the matrix!
Congrats!
In the future you might find yourself writing 2, maybe even 3 codes a day with practice!
You followed a tutorial to do that?
Hooray!!
There are other people building in python who don’t fit this “gentlemen” thing you mention.
Why spend 5 minutes do a thing when I can spend 5 hours automating it?
I want to know more! Inspire us! What did you create?? ☺️
i SO get what a big deal that is. nice job.
Now write tests for it
Man, that’s great. Writing a program that actually does something useful to you is a Big Deal. It’s real progress, and you’re right to celebrate it. Hooray!
Also, spending 3 hours to save 20 minutes of work is advanced, senior developer behavior. You’re gonna fit right in!
Don’t say “a code” btw. It’s “written code”
3 hours 🥲
Good job!
I started the same way – I didn’t know it would change my career path in the future.
They think AI is coming for software developer jobs. Turns out it was just OP on an off day.
