Being a public defender in NY is easy today. The current DA won’t prosecute anyone unless he gets media attention

SN, suddenly feels restricting..

I realize this is about 16 months late at this point, but I was poking around on SN reading random stuff and saw this comment, thought I would suggest that perhaps something useful for your journey in attempting to learn python or get better acquainted with programming in general is to try using something like chatGPT or google's bard or "claude" (claude.ai), these are all free to use and are remarkably helpful for assisting you while you are trying to learn to code. Personally I would suggest getting your feet wet trying to learn something that is simple (but can be quite powerful) like bash scripting...if you're already comfortable using the command line to set up your lightning node, then you're likely already using bash anyway to a certain extent. If you're on Windows, you can install WSL (window subsystem for linux) super easily and have yourself an entire native Linux environment within the Windows OS, all you have to do is download something like Ubuntu or Debian from the Microsoft Store and run it...highly recommended.

Wise move
