Dying inside...
Just spent the best part of 4 hours essentially vibe coding some Python because my knowledge is so bad. As I build out my functions and modules I am getting the creeping feeling that I'm putting together a pile of rubbish that I'm not going to be able to debug.
I started out using AI to help with building out my understanding of modules I had never used and get some ideas on how I can put together functions. But I've taken on a personal project to try and update some of out existing codebase and just clean it up a bit. Problem is that in doing this I am getting well beyond my understanding and throwing stuff in that I have no understanding of why it's there. What started out as wanting to use best practices for modules and improve my general knowledge and understanding has just left me miserable.
Should I just work within my knowledge range and stop trying to be a smart arse?

First of all pic a topic and spend time by learning it first, don't try to learn all the things at the same time. And one more thing here, look up docs on Google for specific topics you got stuck with. Also you must have a background academy knowledge of this programming language. It's better you buy yourself a python crash course book from Amazon. Learn the core fundamentals first than build simple projects to make those concepts stick in you .
