I think I have dived into more practical #Python code (of my own making) in two weeks than in 10 years running python code here and there without ever really grasping what it was really doing... But this is how I learn.. I use it before I cook it.. Sometimes for years until what was "Chinese" to me becomes not just readable but also understandable and guess what.. It feels damn great!
Oh I'm not going to publish it just yet but it works and it does boring things humans shouldn't have to do!
