Serious question, I picked Python over JavaScript for my first language and it's been a mess.

I had to choose between learning Python or JavaScript for my first real project, a simple data organizer. I went with Python because everyone said it was easier for beginners, but I spent 3 days just trying to get the right packages installed without errors. My friend in Chicago who picked JavaScript had a working web page in an afternoon. Did I make the wrong call, or is this just how starting out feels?

Three days on packages"... yeah, my first Python setup looked like a toddler's art project.

Remember trying to install a library and somehow breaking pip for a whole week. My terminal looked like it was throwing a fit. The feeling when you finally get the green light after days of that is unreal. Makes you want to never touch a config file again, honestly.

lmao @jade_miller62 literally me last month, spent like 2 days staring at error messages thinking my computer was having a meltdown. at this point my config files are held together with tape and hope.
