You need to learn Python... RIGHT NOW!! If you want a job in IT, it is fast becoming a requirement to know the Python programming language. In this free Python course, my goal is to make you DANGEROUS in Python. Get started: https://lnkd.in/gmQrT5_n
My question is this: how proficient do we need to be with Python, if we're not aiming for any sort of developer/software engineer roles? I've always had a passing interest in coding since I was a teenager fiddling around with game development, but no matter how hard I try, I've never been able to become good at any of them. I did run through this course of yours and I do want to learn Python to an intermediate proficiency at least, but I'm just not sure if I'll ever really "get it" no matter how hard I try haha

Learned Python, then AI got to where it could code better than me and the jobs dried up (couldn’t get to that next level). Got a job in IT, took a 40-60% pay cut. Couldn’t afford IT. Constantly got bombarded with AI tools that were advertised to replace me. I hate seeing posts like this. I like what you do, your YouTube channel is interesting. But selling the whole IT thing as something that would be a good career just isn’t cool anymore. It’s almost false advertisement if you ask me. I can make more pulling wire. Isn’t that sad?
Call me crazy. I hate languages without curly brackets. Thinking indents makes more sense or makes it easier to learn is nonsense. Otherwise it is an interesting language. Before the curly arrows are thrown. I know it does allow for a few curly brackets.
Before going to college i learnt python and it's helping me a lot. In college they're teaching us c++ but overall syntax is kinda same so it's helping.
100% agree with you on this Chuck, In network automation especially, Python has become the “must-have” skill whether it’s building quick scripts, working with APIs, or extending frameworks like Nornir or Ansible. It’s less about becoming a software engineer and more about being dangerous enough in Python to automate the repetitive stuff and scale your impact.
#Python is beginner-friendly, but advanced enough to make experts cry politely.
I've tried coding in Python. I absolutely hate the language. I actually found ways to automate using PHP that work, at least for me, better than Python ever could. :)
I will confess, that I read that and said "COBOL" in my mind and I was like "nooooooooooo" But now that my brain has re-entered this century, yes. Learn useful stuff, y'all!
Python is easy to get started with, simple to read, and widely used nowadays. I 100% recommend it to anyone and thanks for sharing.
