Python Stupid Question about Python Learning Curve

Click For Summary
The discussion centers around the time investment required to learn Python for entry-level programming jobs that pay $12 an hour. Participants emphasize that the learning curve varies significantly based on prior experience and individual aptitude, suggesting that those without programming knowledge may need a year or more to become employable. The conversation also highlights that many programming positions do not strictly require a degree, although it can help in the initial hiring process. Additionally, the need for logical thinking and problem-solving skills is stressed, particularly for those who identify as more creative or "right-brained." Ultimately, while programming can offer a pathway to income without a degree, the level of proficiency required for job readiness is subjective and dependent on the specific job market.

I didn't bother because this thread is on its way to turning into a flame-fest. This kid's arrogant and inflammatory, and you're biting. There's not enough information to provide any sort of remotely useful suggestion, beyond the typical useless suggestions of "do what you love" or "do what comes naturally", or some nonsense like that.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, this thread should be over, unless you want to talk more about Python, programming qualifications in general, or something else relevant. The personal comments are just unnecessary fluff. I don't see the need to teach him humility-- at least not in this forum.

Agreed. Pretty much all that can be said has been said.

..unless you want to talk more about Python, programming qualifications in general, or something else relevant.

Those sound like good topics for new threads.
