hi! long time listener first time caller. ive been trying to get into coding for fun and bc i think i'd be good at it, but i learn almost exclusively by application, and while i know how to find documentation, it's not a skill i really /need/ for anything in my life right now, so i dont know what sort of short, practical project w a clearly defined outcome might be a good entry point. if you have any ideas or a direction to point me in, i'd be glad to hear about them! :3

(for reference: i have been running ubuntu for 2 years now so im not intimidated by a terminal but most of that time was on a laptop with an nvidia graphics card and the system errors i got were so fucking arcane and unfixable i learned nothing and almost gave up completely; a cs major friend of mine tells me she thinks low-level programming would suit me well; i like a challenge but have no idea where to start and what level of difficulty is reasonable.)

Good question! First off: strongly recommend learning in Python. There are lots of sites for familiarizing yourself with the basic syntax - anything you find should be about equally good.

For an initial project - do you use Discord? A discord bot written in Python is pretty simple and easy, as projects go. To make a bot you need to "apply" for a bot here and then write your code. The best Python API for discord can be found here. They have a github repository here with tons of examples.

If a discord bot is unfamiliar or seems like a lot of moving parts, you can also make simple command-line scripts using Python. Basic command-line IO and file IO are nice skills to have.

If you want something low-level, you can try Rust by Example. Rust is a fair bit harder than Python to learn, syntactically and conceptually. It forces you to engage with a lot of more complex ideas than Python, which has pros and cons. Once you finish learning the basics, the Rust book has a final project (building a multi-threaded web server) that could serve as a nice jumping-off point for your own projects.

Happy to answer any additional questions/follow-ups!

curly w her lil snake pet hcs

now allow me to make this abundantly clear, i didn’t genuinely research this cause i got tired of doin allat so all of this is running off of basic common sense and basic knowledge i have on snakes so do not take what i say to heart, this is simply for fun however if u do feel free to add on

now that i have settle the snake sheriffs, onto the hcs

•okok i always hc’d curly as like a snake nerd, especially when he was a kid

•it was literally his dream to just have a pet snake growing up and as time went on it was still a dream but like, not something he’d beg and cry over i guess

• okokok either curly found the snake when they were just smoking in the backyard and the snake was just,,,,slithering near them and they went “mine!!!”OR they got it from this super shady cool guy in a van

•LIL INFO ABOUT THE SNAKE ive decided the snake is a burmese python bc i wanted curly to have a pretty big snake (curlys snake is about 15ft long just bc heuheuheuheu, the snake is a girl, and she’s relatively pretty cool, burmese pythons r already seen as docile and non agressive but yknow what i mean, but ppl still see her as intimidating for,,,obvious,,reasons)

•now as FAR AS IK u can own a burmese python as a pet in oklahoma but even if u couldnt, i dont think curlys gonna care, also, they’re curly, they’re gonna do it anyways

•MOVING RIGHT ALONG the snakes ACTUAL name is “my boob” but her nickname is tete (which is haitian creole for boob, so its a lil inside joke for the shepards, they just tell ppl the snakes name is tete and giggle when the person actually calls them that so)

•BUT YEA curly rolls up w a 15ft big ass snake and everyone in the shepard house is hollering bloody murder cause bro,,,,why,,,,,how,,,,

•now ik what u might b thinking “this bitches r greasers,,,they r POOR,,,,how will curly afford to take care of a snake????” and to that i say, i poofed all the necessary materials into their house, i gave it to them so SHHHH

•curlys likes watching tete just slither around in her cage and is surprisingly silent while doing so????just sits infront of the cage like 👁👁 so there’s finally somewhat peace and quiet in the shepard household at least on curlys side

•OKOKOK so angela’s relationship w tete is weird bc god DAMN that snake is scary but so fucking cool

•i don’t know how to explain it so instead i’m just gonna give u moments that explain their relationship perfectly

-angela trying to actually hold tete but EVERYTIME she gets close she shrieks and pulls her hand away

-angela watching curly feed tete and just watching in absolute disgust, even going LOUDLY “EWWWWWWWWWW”

-angela wearing tete like those feather boas

•BUT SHE WILL NEVER SAY THAT SHE LIKES TETE :(

•curly will always b smugly smiling at angela when she’s playing/bonding w tete and she’ll just go “stfu i don’t like this reptile mouse tail”

•NOW ONTO TIM AND TETE, tim is always like ‘i’ll show obvious happiness towards them but i’ll never admit i like them’ towards animals so this ain’t rlly any different

•sometimes curly walks into their room and sees tim just,,,,staring at tete in her lil cage

•from time to time tim feeds tete just bc he finds it cool

•tim comes home w shit for tete just to add to her cage, why?????cause he thinks she cools cool, duh

•OHOH as a kid curly would play like fake snake pranks on angela so now that they have a REAL SNAKE????yea they definitely take advantage of that

•tim could b chillin and hears angela scream and just sigh and go “curly stop fucking w angela w tete” so nonchalantly

•curly lets tete free roam sometimes, w supervision of course curly is always just, behind her at all times when he does let her out, and its always for like 10-15mins tops

•that one vine w that guy who had his snake wrapped around his arm and sharing his lollipop w the snake is the shepards w tete

•NOW FOR PONY AND TETE WOO

•i don’t think pony’s rlly an ‘exotic pet’ fan, like he has 0 problems w exotic pets and exotic pet owners, it’s just not rlly his thing

•the first time pony came over and walked into curlys room he stopped dead in his tracks and went “what in the actual fuck is that” and curly went so excitedly “tete :D”

•now OF COURSE curly took her out the cage and put tete RIGHT in front of ponys face and tete licked him so,,,,that occurred

•BUT TO KEEP THINGS SHORT ponys actually kinda scared of her but can tolerate her, he does shake a bit while holding her so take that as u will

•BUT pony does help to take care of her when curly ask so, theres that

this has literally been in my drafts for days so im stopping here, this isnt proofread or fact checked or anything either lol

maybe ill come up w more hcs and post it then tho
