Climbing Mt. Haskell Learning Curve

I've been stuck at work making python scripts to automate shit.

Fuck you, python3 wasn't there you fucking liar

Can you give us an example of something you would automate and how you would go about it.

I'd find a task or be given one that's currently being done manually and then be asked to write a script to automate it

why, whats the point of learning haskell?

fuck off sheev poster

Just updated my imageboard downloader, it uses PyQt4.

Might update to PyQt5, Python 2 is giving me a lot of headaches recently.

This user is right, right now i'm making a script that creates/updates/removes decies from our monitor solutions :)

>shithon

sounds like fun.
i enjoy trying to find the best ways to automate my daily routines.

How do you get better at coding?

Can someone please just give me a line or two explaining how they got better at coding in python?

Im an incoming Junior at NYU and for finance internships knowing a coding language (as it relates to finance) would help me for internships and job opportunities.

Any help appreciated.

1. find problems that are marginally beyond your capabilities, and tackle them.
2. repeat.

if you're looking for a nugget that unlocks some higher order capability, tough shit.

you code
you code stuff you dont know how to do
you google how to do it
you do it
you just learned something

but majority of people "learning programming" would not be able to come up with projects
they stop learning
the end

This makes sense

Thank you

Do you guys use IDE or just python shell
