After stepping back to going over the basics again with Python, I'm back to learning object oriented programming. I understand the material much more and my thought process is more clear with trying to solve of the questions. The only issue that I'm still having is that I still somewhat struggle with trying to solve a problem on my own. For example, I can get 80% - 90% of the code right but there is at least 1 thing that I either missed, have stuff in the wrong order or just off all together and my codes doesn't work. I think that I need to work on my problem solving skills in general because I tend to make issues more harder than they should be.

Also, I brought a ethical hacking class that works with Python on Udemy. Give me something exciting to do while still getting some coding work. Plus it may help with getting me some models pics and videos from only fans . Not trying to hack for real or steal money if the feds are watching .

Them Amazon assessments will have you ready to swing on the next Amazon employee you see. I'm already ready for my rejection email . Almost surprised it wasn't instant.

this sys ops course is fukking up my flow. The other course had a bunch of short sections. this one has fewer, longer ones. I'm finding it harder to chain successes and keep my self motivated. right now I have 6/18 completed, got to keep plugging away.

Just pace yourself. I have 12 hrs left on my Python class and it starting to get stale. Have to keep pushing myself to finish so that I can start looking for something else .

How do you handle with dealing with impostor syndrome? I'm work on a deck of cards exercise for Python and I feel that I have to google everything to build this class. I still don't feel comfortable with creating some functions on my own. I can read and understand other people code but I can't process where to start when I need to build something myself .

Time. At first you're clueless. Eventually you're able to understand pieces on a basic level. Not long after that you'll be able to regurgitate things you've seen before but you don't know why. After that shyt will be happening and it'll take a moment to realize that you're the one making it happen. Repetition and application is key.

Brehs... I’m taking a self Ed class for excel but I don’t have excel any links to getting Excel 2016?

1. If you work for a company and they pay for Excel, you can often use your work email to download excel to your personal computer
2. Office 365 Personal costs $7/mo and includes Excel. Alternatively, you can use the trial period (1 month) for Office 365 Family
3. If the course isn't too advanced, you might be able to get by using Office Online or Google Sheets. Both are free.

That's a natural part of the process. The biggest secret in programming is that you WILL struggle. Knowing how to psychologically manage yourself is huge. You just have to keep at it and it will eventually become clear. Most tutorials just show the instructor creating things from scratch in a linear fashion as if real programmers have all the answers in their head ahead of time. No, you WILL google. You WILL sit in front of your computer being perplexed. You WILL struggle... but if you keep at it, ask for help when you can then you will eventually figure it out.
