As someone who's been trying to learn Python recently, this resonates with me. I am glad I will always fuck it up.

BTW you missed a colon at the end of your if statement on line 341. Also you used irregular whitespace on another line, but I'll let you find that one yourself, as a treat.

I've so far avoided using LLMs unless I need something explicitly explained. I don't know enough to be able to verify any code it would produce, so I don't know what the hell these vibe coders are doing.

But I'm also a little long in the tooth to be starting this, so maybe that's part of my problem.

Based to reject vibe coding. Similar to "why learn math when we got calculators".

I am aware of what I don't know, and having something which hallucinates produce something I want to use seems silly. I wouldn't be able to verify it independently because I'm not smart enough. It just seems like asking for trouble. Like I would ask the thing which gave me broken code in the first place to fix it? Smort.
