Hi y'all like the thread subject mentioned. I have a sense a lot of us are in the same boat trying to catch up with being good with coding at the rate technology is moving. I sometimes feel my personal progress is not moved one bit despite the effort being poured into practicing the coding habit and being consistent with it.

Currently doing Python but I'm thinking of switching to another language after writing code in Python becomes second nature. My opinion is Python stupifies you compared to other languages like C for instance, it is a good intro to coding but past that point it limits you.

Question: How does one get better at it? and what language do you recommend after Python?

Hi there! Coding is definitely a skill that takes time and practice to master. Don't be discouraged if you feel like you're not progressing as quickly as you'd like - it's a common feeling, and the key is to keep at it.
To improve your coding skills, I'd recommend a few things:

Practice, practice, practice: The more you code, the better you'll get. Try working on personal projects or contributing to open source projects to get more experience.
Seek out resources: There are tons of online resources available to help you learn and improve your coding skills. Check out sites like Codecademy, Khan Academy, or Udemy for tutorials and courses.
Ask for feedback: Don't be afraid to ask for feedback on your code from more experienced programmers. They can offer valuable insights and suggestions for improvement.

As for what language to learn after Python, it depends on your interests and goals.

Through pain and suffering. LOTS OF IT. When staring at code that doesn't compile. Stop staring at it. Do something else for 15 minutes, then look back at it. I usually find the problem within three minutes after that.

I agree with jake01756 on this one, sometimes you just need a walk n sunlight to figure out what the issue is. Keep grinding for that knowledge (im sure you done well in the past year) and you will reach that destination to where you wish to be. Vids on Youtube also grow more and more, so more project ideas and more insights on coding.

I think one of the things that's often overlooked is a comfy work space. I don't focus or spend extra time at a workstation I don't feel good in. So a nice monitor, some backlighting, a comfy chair, and a keyboard that's FUN. Custom switches, etc. I think these things are more of an investment than people realize.

in my opinion practice and experience. Just gotta keep coding and overtime youll just get better and adding to your intution and coding common sense.

the method im using atm is asking chatgpt for any projects i could do and then it spits out some projects and then you can just try to code them if you got problems or are stuck with a function just ask chatgpt
best way to learn is learning by doing

try tryhackme... it's really great and gives u a realistic concept

[Conflate]

Honestly it's a constant learning process

I recommend you to try C language, it is a good choice
