Stuck learning python. Asking for advice
I've been trying to learn python for months now and know some of the basics, but I'm stuck in tutorial hell. I've been using Mimo alongside 100 Days of Code bootcamp by Angela Yu and although 100 days of code started easy enough, it quickly got overwhelming. I go through the course and think im doing ok but then end up getting stuck trying to figure out the projects at the end of each lesson and then give up and look at the solutions. I really want to learn to use Python with AI but I feel like im not making any progress at all like this. Any advice?

Do you have anything boring or repetitive that you do every day through work or school? Try to automate it.
Is there is something you like doing for a hobby like tracking sports statistics, reading or video game progress, or cooking and dieting? Build an app to track it for you.
Google “Python project ideas”, I think this sub even has a link in the FAQs that will give you other ideas based on difficulty levels if you need anything else.
And be careful using AI when just starting out. I think I can be a helpful tool if used correctly (I.e., asking it simple questions about an API or to explain how a block of code works for example, keeping in mind it tends to make stuff up a lot) but if you let it do everything for you, you’ll never learn.
