how does one use this repo to learn programming ?

[0xLysandre]

hope y'all doing good.

My issue is that I want to learn advanced programming with projects in this repo, but each 'guide' teaches me the concept and then gives me the code that I could just copy and paste in my IDE.

Could someone perhaps have the kindness to help me with that ?

Thank you.

Thanks for raising this , it’s a valid concern.

The intention of this repository is not to provide copy-paste–ready solutions, but to act as a learning sandbox. The guides explain the concepts first, and the code is meant to be read, modified, and broken, not blindly reused.

To get real value from this repo:

• Try implementing the logic yourself before looking at the provided code
• Change parameters, remove parts, or rewrite sections to see how behavior changes
• Use the notebooks as references only.

For example, if you copy-paste a model training script and achieve the same (or even lower) accuracy as what’s already shown, you haven’t really learned anything. Learning happens when you understand why the model behaves the way it does and how your changes affect the outcome.

Advanced understanding comes from experimenting, rebuilding, and making mistakes. That’s the direction this project is intentionally designed around.

Thank you
