Well, keep learning
It took me over 3 months to get to a place where I would be able to write a reasonably simple program by myself
There is a lot to learn, and you will only learn by doing, so I would recommend you to come up with a simple script/program idea and spend the next 10 days or whatever creating it
Here is how I would suggest you go about this
Honestly I'm impressed that you were able to use Github in the first place, but anyhow hope it helps, and good luck 🤞
I also highly recommend doing beginner-level, free MOOC courses on edX. For example, CS50 by Harvard University is amazingly helpful. You could also do courses about CS essentials or an Intro to Python.
I do recommend just auditing these courses and doing their practical exercises / homework in your own time and testing your solutions by yourself. I don't think it's really worth paying $150 just to have automated solution verification, unless you really want a verified certificate of completion.
I've learned block coding from Construct 3 for a year and school robotics for 4 and I'm decent at it but obviously that isn't real coding so I decided to try Python. I'm brand new not just to Python but to text coding as a whole. I've spent around 7 hours learning it and I know because I've spend so little time that I could track it. But, I feel like taking on Python is a huge(x1000) task and that in these 7 hours I've learned nearly nothing. I have learned(ish) the basics but then came the revelation of a thing called import and it opened up a galaxy of things for me to get confused on and now I have spent 3 hours on it and help. It makes me feel dumb that I can't do simple stuff and I see everyone doing things that I understand nothing of. If any of you have any tips, tricks or resources you use and you think they would be helpful for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
