Summary

I installed my first Python build in 2009 and started learning Django, which allowed me to understand the basics of models, dynamic numbers in URLs, and HTTP responses. I figured out just enough to get by with a lot of repetitive and hacky code that surprisingly worked. This experience marked a turning point in my learning, where I accelerated my knowledge but still relied on quick fixes to "get things done". To me, learning to code is about finding a solution, not achieving something.
