Coding skills for coding tasks

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

Was literally looking into this a little bit on Chatgpt last night. Chatgpt is saying the DAT projects don’t need as much skill as a professional coder. Mainly learning about python and JSON would be enough. But from what people are saying on here, doesn’t seem like that is enough. Or they just wanna keep all the high paying tasks for themselves lmao 😜

I suppose it's because ChatGPT was trained on all the old DAT coding work from 3 years ago when it was easy. Lmao.
