The Biggest Mistake I Made Learning Python v2

Key Takeaways

Now, I want to start by talking about the biggest mistakes that I made when I was learning Python. Now, the first is that I tried to learn everything at once. So, web development, game development, data science, scripting, automation, you name it, I was a mile wide and just an inch deep. Now, what I did back then is I'd start with a Flask project, get halfway through it, then jump over to Pygame, then start messing with data analysis, then circle back to web scraping. Now, none of this stuck because I never actually finished anything. And the result of this was after months of learning Python, I couldn't confidently build a single complete project in any one of these areas. Now, what I should have done instead was master the fundamentals first, then pick one direction and go deep.
