You might remember my previous question on what resources to use. Now, I'm wondering how what I'm learning does anything, or at least how I should be learning. I am on edabit.com, and if you don't know what that is, it is a platform which teaches you the basics of Python and has a section where you can do challenges of a variety of difficulty levels. I have been grinding out the "Very Easy" category since I genuinely do not know enough of anything to go anywhere. However, I am in a ML lab, and we do work with Python a lot. I don't understand how someone can just take this information and use it towards ML, specifically with PyTorch, OpenCV, and etc. I don't see the connections, and I feel like I'm remaining stagnant. Is this a case of lofty expectations on my part? I am afraid I am not seeing what is wrong here, as really my experience with learning how to program in school has been just the same: pace through and do it. Why is it not working now? Bc I've done similar with with W3 schools too, and I've already done the tutorial on the site. Python to me just seems so abstract and disconnected compared to other languages like C++ or Java, which seem to progress quite well. I'm learning Python from a course too, but, again, why doesn't it have the same connection?
So what is your essential question?
