[help] Learning to code (lemm.ee)

I’ve been wanting to learn how to code for a while so I figure now is as good a time as any to start. I downloaded VS code on my laptop for python but I don’t really know end product I should try to code and I also am just bad and barely know what I’m doing. Does anyone here have any advice on what to code and how best to learn?

I would go for something simple ish and build from there.

One thing I used to build every time I was learning a new language was a dice roller for DnD. It had to be able to roll a d4 d6 d8 d10 d20 and percentile.
You can then expand it to do combinations or formula of dice like "roll 4 d6 and sum the highest 3"

Only a suggestion, good luck and welcome.
