How do I find the arithmetic mean of a list in Python? For example: [1, 2, 3, 4] ⟶ 2.5 More on stackoverflow.com

Looking through your post history, it seems like you might benefit from learning a little patience, maybe clarify what you're expecting out of this process, and perhaps be a little more honest with yourself about whether those expectations are realistic. I mean, you quit web development because you couldn't find anyone willing to hire a fifteen year old with 0 years of professional experience. Of course that was going to be a challenge. Instead of quitting, you could've spent your time building sites on your own to create a portfolio. Sure, CS50P isn't exciting the way the new Top Gun movie is exciting, but it isn't supposed to be. What it's supposed to do is teach you foundational programming concepts that you *will* use every day in a career. Same thing with Python Crash Course (which is a great book, btw). To use an analogy, there isn't a professional musician in the world who thinks it's fun to drill scales, but every professional musician knows those skills backwards and forwards. Do you know what happens to musicians who don't want to learn scales or chord charts? Nothing. They never get any better, and nobody pays them to play music, and they'll maybe just dick around with their guitar on Fridays before going to the bar with their friends to watch someone else play music for a living. The reason we learn the "boring" stuff is so we can apply it to something we want to do. You work through this stuff so that when inspiration strikes, you'll have the skills to put it in code. I'm not saying this to discourage you, or put you down, but to make the point that becoming a competent programmer is a marathon. It's not a sprint. More on reddit.com

Okay - some context for me. What are you studying? Where are you located? You are on the money realising building a "project portfolio" will help differentiate you in the job market. If needing to be efficient with your time I would work backwards from: What functional AI/ML project should I build? What companies offer internships? And can what project/portfolio will they care about? Can you find out: ...what their tech stack is? E.g. are they GCP, AWS, Azure, multi-cloud? ...what AI/ML problems they might need to solve? You might: Scrape their job listings related to AI/ML or even tech more generally, then analyse this data to infer what they're working in / what skills they are hiring for. Identify people working in teams you're excited about, ask to (a) take them to coffee (meet them where is convenient to them) or (b) if that's not possible meet on Zoom. Explain you'd like to interview them about their career because you admire where they are, and would love to know what advice they would give themselves if they were starting out - including what AI/ML project they might build for their portfolio ;) - as well as advice on what skills they think their company will need next year. You might consider right rizing your project - to one you can build it on both GCP and AWS (potentally also Azure) to demonstrate adaptability across cloud platforms. You could include a blog alongside your technical demo, reflecting on any differences in your learning experiences on each stack. Once you've sleuthed what project to build, create a project plan and map the skills required to make it happen. Learn & build in parralel. Document your journey in a blog style format, articulating how you solved for things you didn't know how to do. What learning resources you tapped into, what posts you made in what online forums asking for help, etc. Tech changes so quickly - seeing someone's capacity for problem solving, and how they practice continuous learning / research, is often more imprortant to me than what formal study someone has completed in tech. I observe that university course curriculum is by nature at least several months behind is practiced in industry. If you have some idea of what you'd like to build, I can think on what free / low-cost options for learning there might me. More on reddit.com

Pls stop overthinking and start coding.

Or pls join me in discussing which gym equipment is best to build muscles. Strangely , I been discussing this for years but my body doesn't look like Arnold's.
