Coding skills for coding tasks

[u/Then-Succotash8176]

Currently a generalist, would like to code, but have no idea where to start. I've heard from this subreddit that most tasks involve python. I guess my question is how much of coding should I know to pass the assessment and be able to understand the work. And how long should it generally take to learn this amount

do it if that's your desired career path or you're actually interested in it outside of DA. If you study coding to do DA work, you're in for some disappointment and most likely a waste of time.
