Why I Started Learning Python - Should you Join Me?

I will present you with the strongest reasons why I started learning the Python programming language.
I will start with more philosophical reasons and then will jump into the practical ones.
In other words:
1. Why I started learning to code
2. Why Python
ready?

If you know @naval, you probably know he strongly advises almost everyone to learn how to code.
Why?
Code is the ultimate leverage.
- Zero replication cost
- Programming is a definition of outputs > inputs
- Thousands of machines are waiting for your orders

Most truly new-rich people generated their wealth through code.
- Bitcoin
- Social media sites
- Amazon
To quote @naval once again: "Build something, whatever it takes".
And the good seems to be one of the best ways how to do that.

Why python?
- Easy to learn - simple syntax
- High-demand
- Broad application
- Great learning materials + community

To increase my motivation and % for success I pick a project I would like to build in it:
I would like to program two small web apps on my blog.
1st. The calculator of your minimum hourly rate based on your expenses
2nd. An app that would project your compound growth

How exactly will I learn Python?
I've started this course on @coursera :
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-automation (non-aff.)
It's directly from Google and in the end, you get a certificate that should be somehow valid in real-world settings.
... I bought a couple of books as well.

Why the hell one need books to learn sth. in 2021?
Well, you probably don't but I think having some solid theoretical background is pretty useful.
Trial and error is powerful.
But if you combine it with some good theory, you step into a different dimension.

To sum it up:
1. Coding is a high-income skill and ultimate leverage because the machines are waiting there (at almost no cost) to do the work you tell them.
2. Python is an easy to learn language (simple syntax) with high demand and broad application.
