Pro tip: Don't skip the error messages when you're just starting out
Last Tuesday, I spent 6 hours trying to get my first Python script to run. I kept ignoring the red text in the terminal because I thought it was just noise. Tbh, the error literally said 'File not found: data.txt' but I was too focused on my code. I finally read it, made the file, and it worked in 2 seconds. Honestly, has anyone else wasted a whole day on something that simple?
