My experience with python (so far)

Logan S. — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 01:48:49 +0000

Hello! I'm a python beginner (per the username)
so here's my experience so far, along with some of my thoughts and preferences.

I came into python thinking I'm going to always be coding.
Well now, I frequently find myself staring at a blank python project.

The thing with coding in python as a hobby is, it's sometimes hard to find what to code.

The most fun things to code in my opinion are:

simple coding languages
Small neural networks
small games.

I also find that with python, you could code something literal like
"print("hello")"
and then you're going to find something telling you to do stuff like

"def main():
print("hi")

if name == "main":
main()
"

like what the heck!?
why does there always have to be some "better shorter way"
that looks like a different language?

anyways, overall python is a pretty flexible, simple language.
but if I coded python, it would've been a little different.

p.s. the cover was made in canva, thanks to them. :)
