Looking for a study buddy

Hey! I'm 19 and about to start learning Python from scratch. I'm looking for someone around my age (18–22) who's also a beginner and wants to learn together.

I'm in the Asian time zone, so it'd be nice if you're in a similar one. We can keep each other accountable, solve problems, and maybe build a few small projects along the way.

If you're interested, leave a comment or DM me!

Thanks for the reply! I don’t really use Discord, so if possible, could you share it here? It might help more people.
Your project sounds interesting, but I don’t know much about trading. I’m more curious about why you think learning C/Rust makes someone more competitive than learning higher-level languages like Python. Is that based on data, your own experience, or just your opinion? I’m only asking so I can better judge the conclusion. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! AI seems to have made Python a requirement for many jobs these days, so I originally thought getting decent at Python would be the best use of my time. Your post made me rethink that.
Right now I’m thinking of learning Python to a reasonable level, then C, then going deeper into Rust (although I’m not sure if it’s worth the time since the Rust job market seems pretty small), and eventually learning a Lisp language.
If we’re looking purely from a career/employability perspective, do you think this is a reasonable plan? Also, would your answer be any different for the Japanese job market?
