// WHY_LEARN_THIS?
Because automating boring stuff feels like a superpower. Also: employable.
The Experiment: I asked ChatGPT to design a strict 24-hour crash course to learn Python Programming. I stripped away the fluff. This is the raw data on how to go from Zero to Glitch in one day.
// THE_FIRST_HOUR
Most people quit in the first 45 minutes. Here is the exact starting instruction to survive:
"Install VS Code and print 'Hello World' but add your name. Don't just watch videos; type the code."
// THE_AI_PROMPT
// THE_SCHEDULE
| Timeframe | Module | Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Hour 0-2 Setup |
Foundation & Mechanics | Install VS Code and print 'Hello World' but add your name. Don't just watch videos; type the code. |
| Hour 2-6 The Grind |
Syntax & Semantics | Type code until it breaks. Then fix it. Repeat. |
| Hour 6-12 Application |
Mini-Projects | Building small, broken tools using ChatGPT + Replit + YouTube. |
| Hour 12-18 Debug |
Troubleshooting | Pitfall Avoidance: Tutorial Hell: Watching 10 hours of video without typing a single line of code. |
| Hour 18-24 Mastery |
The Final Project | Execute: Code a snake game that eats its own tail |
Tutorial Hell: Watching 10 hours of video without typing a single line of code.
Use the 'Rubber Duck' method: Verify your logic by explaining it out loud to a rubber duck (or your cat).
// THE_GLITCH_TASK
To prove completion, I must execute this specific anomaly:
"Code a snake game that eats its own tail"
// CONCLUSION
Can AI teach Python Programming? It provided the map, but the Tutorial Hell: Watching 10 hours of video without typing a single line of code. was a real human struggle. The result? Learned enough to be dangerous.
