Hey everyone, I’ve struggled to solve these exercises for a few weeks. I always end up needing help, either from AI or from the exercism forum. It’s starting to make me feel like I’m not capable and that I’m cheating by asking for help. This isn’t the first time I’ve tried to learn Python, and every time I encounter this issue, it makes me want to give up. I’d appreciate some advice on how to deal with this.
Most people don’t know how to program before they learn to program. When learning a new skill, it’s hard at first because you don’t know how to do it! With enough time and practice you will become someone who knows how to program and be able to help other people learn it! Until then, keep at it and don’t be shy about asking for help. There is also the Discord server for getting help.
If you feel like you’re missing some programming fundamentals, CS50 is a popular “Intro to CS” and might be worth looking at. CS50: Introduction to Computer Science | Harvard University
