Baby Steps

Heyyy 👋
I'm Keren, I’m 15, and I just started 11th grade.
I’ve always been kinda curious about coding and computer science — stuff like ethical hacking, game dev, or basically anything cool and nerdy tbh 😅
This month, I finally decided to stop overthinking and just start.
I jumped into Python using freeCodeCamp, and here’s what I’ve learned so far:
how to print stuff (literally
print("hello world")
, lol)what variables are and how to store things in them
how to make everything lowercase with
.lower()
for
loops (they repeat stuff, I think??).find()
for stringsand string indexing (aka numbering each letter like
word[0]
)
I’m currently around Step 40, and honestly? I’m kinda proud 🥹
It gets confusing sometimes, but when it clicks, it’s so satisfying.
I’ll be posting random updates here just to track my progress — and so future me can look back and be like “yo, I really did that.”
If you’re also just starting out — hiiii, let’s struggle together 💀
