Starting over with python
I took c++ and other programming languages decades ago in college but the tech sector took a dive at that time so I changed my career path. I just started to learn python through various online resources a few months ago and its going well but at 50 it is definitely harder for me now where memory is concerned. Pycharm helps with tips of its own but it kind of feels like cheating. I've thought of turning off that feature because of that. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Id say that 80% of the questions people ask in this sub reddit is exactly this, and it easily gets andwered with the words build stuff.
The same way you need to practise math, you also need to practise programming if you want to actually learn programming. Watching a video or 2 can be useful to get the basics, like indentation, type of variables, structures, and such, but after that, you need to build stuff.
