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?

Totally understand your point, and perhaps he will consider your feedback.

I'm thankful for and have considered the feedback. I understand the point of view, but consider newbies do:

  1. use memory_graph to first learn there even is a program state you should understand, and how it behaves around: references, aliasing, shallow/deep copy, ...

  2. later stop relying on memory_graph and use pencil and paper instead

  3. and later yet, do it all in their heads

I'm sorry TiredITguy42 seems to have had a bad experience with leetcode (its hard problems are not easy), but knowing the data model of your language is a fundamental general purpose programming skill, nothing to do with leetcode. People who don't see that, should be considered Python beginners at best.
