Week 1 with python

I spent a week with python and here is my experience

  • I am learning python specifically for data analytics and science perspective, so I found that identifying your goal with learning this general-purpose language really helps you being on track.
  • I am using LLMs to assist me in learning this, so developing a roadmap with goals, guiding me through initial setup and choosing right tools was incredibly useful. I think this is where LLMs shine.
  • It also helped me in improving my prompting skills. I did not want it to completely feed me everything and allow me to challenge myself to think critically when retaining information, debugging a problem or even constructing instruction.
  • I am also leveling up in SQL so some relation between how queries are constructed has helped in developing some core understanding.

I am not sure if I have been slow, but I am not worried. I think I have good retention, and I have been consistent in getting more comfortable and more importantly I am able to think in those terms.

I am now comfortable in exploring data, identifying inconsistencies and develop basic metrics out of those dataframes and I am excited to see what is next.
