TIL using a real code editor beats Notepad for learning by a mile
I spent my first two weeks trying to write Python in Notepad, saving files as .txt and getting constant errors. Then I downloaded VS Code (it's free) and the difference was night and day. It colored my code, showed me my mistakes right away, and even suggested fixes. Has anyone else had a moment where a simple tool switch made things click?

My buddy learned HTML on a typewriter once.

That "night and day" difference is overblown. A typewriter like @ray_webb6 mentioned would build better habits than any fancy editor.
