• This AI-generated quote would make our author proud

  I did not make this, unfortunately, and it is sad as an amateur high-concept author (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc) that an AI can outwit me. I don't have confirmation but I would bet he used his custom "Loom" interface to GPT-3 to refine the story - I have seen many interesting things, so don't take it lightly when I say that it is one of the most interesting things I've seen in my life.

• Found out my Professor for Fall 2023 Python Course is one of the worst reviewed professors at the school

  In terms of structure, consider following a book like Python for Everybody or Automate the Boring Stuff With Python. One of the hard parts of learning a language like python on your own is knowing what you should learn and the order you should learn it in--resources like these books or online courses you can find on Coursera are great for helping with that.
