Hi everyone,

I’ve studied Python multiple times before, but I didn’t do much practical coding. Recently, I started building small projects to improve my practical Python skills.

So far, I’ve completed:

- Quiz Game

- Number Guessing Game

- Rock Paper Scissors

- Password Manager

- Pig Game

- Mad Libs Generator

My goal is to move towards Machine Learning.

I haven’t learned NumPy or Pandas yet.

My question is: Are these projects enough to move on to NumPy and Pandas, or should I build a few more Python projects first?

If I should build more projects, what kind of projects would you recommend before starting NumPy/Pandas? I’m mainly looking for projects that would actually help with the transition to data/ML, rather than making many more small games.

Would appreciate advice from people who have already followed a Python → NumPy/Pandas → ML path.

Would really appreciate some honest advice. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for pattern-wise Java DSA questions to practice.

If anyone has created their own pattern-based question list, I'd really appreciate it if you could share it. Otherwise, please recommend any good YouTube channels or other resources for this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I'm a fresher looking for a Machine Learning internship. Could you please suggest how and where I should apply, and which platforms or resources are useful for finding internships?

I need some honest advice because this has been bothering me for a while.

I'm not an introvert. I can talk to strangers, answer questions in class, and communicate when I need to. My problem is different.

Most people around me joke a lot, laugh easily, tease each other, and become close very quickly. They seem to have fun effortlessly.

I don't.

I'm usually serious, and even when I understand the joke, I don't always find it funny. Because of that, I don't naturally join the banter, and I often end up feeling like I'm standing outside the group instead of being part of it.

People don't joke with me much either. If they do, it's usually about my height or my hair. I just smile and move on because I don't want to create awkwardness.

The strange thing is that I want to change. I want to be more relaxed, laugh more, and enjoy those moments instead of feeling uncomfortable when everyone else is having fun.

I don't think my life is boring, but my interests are different from most people around me, so I don't have the same kind of funny stories or conversations that they enjoy.

For people who used to be naturally serious:

How did you become more playful without pretending to be someone else?

Are there any habits or exercises that genuinely helped?

How do you join light-hearted conversations when your brain doesn't naturally think of funny things to say?

I'm looking for practical advice from people who have actually experienced this, not just "be yourself."

I need some honest advice because this has been bothering me lately.

The people around me are very chill and funny. They joke a lot, laugh a lot, and become friends with almost everyone very quickly. They do random silly things that make everyone laugh.

The problem is... I don't fit in.

I'm not an introvert. I can talk to strangers and I speak when I have something to say. But I don't naturally joke around. Most of the time I'm serious, and many of their jokes don't make me laugh even though everyone else is laughing.

Because of that, people don't joke with me much either. If they do, it's usually about my height or my hair. I just smile and move on because I don't like it. When everyone around me is laughing loudly, I sometimes feel uncomfortable and even feel like moving away.

The weird part is that I want to be a little more fun and playful. I want to enjoy those moments and feel included. But it doesn't come naturally to me.

Sometimes I feel like my mindset is different from most people my age. I connect more with people who are a little older, but even they know how to have fun. I don't.

I also feel like my life isn't very interesting, so I don't have funny stories to share like others do.

Has anyone else felt like this? Did you eventually become more relaxed and fun, or did you just accept that this is your personality?

I'm looking for honest advice, not "just be yourself." I genuinely want to understand if this is something I can improve.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 3rd-year B.Tech AIML student and recently started learning SAS (Statistical Analysis System), including SAS Viya.

I'm trying to understand the job market for SAS programmers because I don't see many openings compared to Python or Java.

I have a few questions:

Which companies actively hire SAS programmers?

Which companies offer internships for freshers or students?

Which industries use SAS the most (Clinical, Banking, Insurance, Analytics, etc.)?

What skills should I learn alongside SAS to improve my chances of getting hired? (SQL, Python, Statistics, Clinical Data, etc.)

If you're working as a SAS Programmer or SAS Analyst, how did you get your first job?

I'd really appreciate your advice and experiences. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I'm a 3rd-year BTech AIML student.

Lately I've realized that one of my biggest challenges isn't finding resources it's finding people who are genuinely interested in learning and improving themselves.

Most people around me are focused only on passing exams, while I'm more interested in building skills, working on projects, learning new technologies, improving communication, and preparing for the future.

I'm not specifically looking for an accountability group or anything formal. I'd just like to connect with a few like-minded people who are ambitious, curious, and interested in continuous growth. It would be great to discuss goals, share what we're learning, exchange ideas, and build meaningful connections over time.

Has anyone here found people like this online? How did you meet them?

I'd love to hear your experiences.

Thanks!

I'm a student preparing for my future career, and I'm curious about how professionals manage their time.

I often hear people talk about balancing work, family, hobbies, fitness, learning new skills, and social life, but I'm not sure what that looks like in reality.

For those who are working full-time:

What does a normal weekday look like for you?

How do you find time for learning new skills or personal projects?

What time-management habit has helped you the most?

Is work-life balance something that gets easier with experience?

I'd love to hear real experiences and lessons you've learned along the way.

I'm a 20-year-old student and I'm trying to improve how I manage my time.

Most of my day is focused on studying, but I still don't feel like I'm getting the results I want. At the same time, I feel guilty whenever I spend time on hobbies, friends, or relaxing.

For students who have improved their study habits:

What does your study routine look like?

How many hours do you study each day?

What habits helped you become more consistent?

What was the biggest mistake you made when learning to manage your time?

I'd appreciate any practical advice.
