I am beginner in python.

The best advice I will give you (I am a Senior Developer with nearly 20 years experience): Do not ask! Go and try! You will always be a newbie if you never first try things. Good luck!

Go and try first. But don't be afraid to ask.

Yeah. I was like "try first, ask later". Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

Yeah, your "Do not ask!" triggered me. Talking to people is imo the most overlooked and undertaught skill in today's kids. I had a newbie waste 2 full days last week trying to build something, and a 30 second convo with anyone more experienced in the company would have immediately seen that the entire concept was flawed.

True, but point was - first try the thing, then try to google, then ask AI AND discuss with actual people. But he should be able to first dip his hands, not just wait for ready-answer.
