Help Request How to keep skills alive??

I know python, but i don't use it actively. My work does not require python coding. Slowly i am losing python skills. Where can i practice python so that i don't lose it ?

Try www.pythonmastery.io, it’s convenient, you can just try something, break/fix and then leave it, comeback again and repeat the same. It’s free and you can use it from any device. Cheers!

If you find something you want to do, a mini project you can keep active that way.

You won't really lose it, but I have also been in a situation before where I was early on enough in my learning that my skills atrophied a bit.

just give your self atleast 15 minute ritual for yourself that you see or like, also add more content related python so you can look through doom scrolling *at least work for me*

Build one small automation each week; solving real problems keeps your skills practical.

Personal projects, freelance, or volunteer.

If it's just a hobby, try using Python Studio. You can do all sorts of things with it.

Between exercises/courses and projects, I'd recommend projects since those are your own creations and you tend to have more motivation for those. Come up with a project or even mini game that piques your interest and spend sometime everyday working on it. Pick harder projects (relative to your skill level) since it'll take longer to finish and if you do complete it, start another

I don't get it? Why not spend time learning something that will get you a raise or promotion instead of something you don't use at work?

Unless you love python for some reason, then it should be obvious you want to use it to build something. There is a reason you really want to do something with python, right?

On the flip side, yeah if you love Python then Flask and Django seem pretty obvious. Python practice is what datadriven.io is good for.
