That "Hello World" took me 3 hours and I almost quit
I tried learning Python on my own for a month and couldn't even get a simple print statement to run without errors. Turns out I was using the wrong interpreter the whole time, kept opening the terminal in the wrong folder. A guy on a Discord server told me to check my PATH variable and that fixed everything in 5 minutes. Now I keep a small text file with all the setup steps I need. Anyone else struggle with just getting your environment ready to code?

Dude the setup part is the worst. I spent two days trying to get a stupid virtual environment to work before I realized I was copying the wrong command from a tutorial. Feels like you're fighting the computer more than actually learning anything at first.
