So I’m an on/off noobie but have been focusing on actually sticking with programming what I’ve been working on is Python but this question is for programming in general. For me it’s hard but I want to see how I can get better

Like are these good ways to get good:

Follow tutorials, then work on ways of adding your own twists or changes? Or trying to code it in something else?

Work on assignments from a resource you’re using like in my case Python Crash Course and attempt to redo the assignments without looking back?

Experiment with multiple libraries and library methods or built in methods?

Please share any other ways especially ones that helped you

Also when would be good to start a new language after learning one

    I’m not sure I understand the question but I will try to answer. I did not mean to question you skill in particular, I know nothing about you.

    I agree that programming requires repetition e.g. more programming, that’s why I said “This”.

    What followed was a generic advice that helped me personally to improve a lot as a developer. I got the chance to work side by side with developers experienced in different types of projects, developers I consider more skilled than me in different ways. I consider this avaluabe experience.

    Hope that clears it up a little, nothing to do with you’re skill in particular. English is not my first language so maybe my phrasing is a little weird.

      It also helps a lot if you have someone more skilled than you available to discuss.

      Which could be read as you addressing me directly. Which of course I’m aware was not what you meant. I was just trying to be funny.
