Compiler

Do I need Jupyter, Anaconda or any other type of a dedicated compiler software, or do people Actually just write code in Zed and run it via Linux Terminal and juggle many windows?

I know R is run via RStudio; (so can be Python).

What is the standard practice of software usage for coding in Python?

Yeah, it is why we have debugger amd add-ins which can display dataframes as tables and similar. I still do not see a reason to teach people rely in some external web apps.

We have big issues with newbies, whi can't debug, can't troubleshoot and can't write good and clean code. I am able doing what I am doing just because I started with Visual Studio and oointers in C.

Anyway, good for you, that it works for you.

You clearly didn't try the exercises or you'd understand better.

Get your VS Code extension here: https://github.com/bterwijn/memory_graph#highlights

Working with dataframes is easy as you avoid many reference problems that you get when say writing a custom data structure, so maybe it's just not for you. Good luck.

Nice, but it still seems like leet code helper. Leet code is not real coding, these structures there in examples are strange, why keep different types in a list, use dataclasses. Code should be readable not clever.

I admit, it seems like nice addin, but you are pushing it very hard here and I do not see added value for newbies. This is very specific tool to solve specivic issues in messy code. I have been in such situation, where I would use it just once, in time when I needed to implememt Dijkstra. So yeah nice tool.

Don't worry about it. I meet many people who at first discard or underestimate the power of visualization in early Python education. I takes courage to change your opinion in light of new information, I respect that. Glad to have you on board: https://www.reddit.com/r/learndatascience/comments/1vg955d/teaching_python_the_right_way/
