True programming mastery isn't about memorizing syntax—it's about fluently combining tools and patterns to solve real problems.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
In data science and AI, the difference between mediocre and exceptional code often lies in how elegantly we combine basic tools. Just like Shakespeare wasn't distinguished by vocabulary alone, but by how he crafted words into powerful expressions.

This challenged my perfectionist tendencies. The advice to "write terrible code" and experiment freely resonates deeply—it's through these "imperfect" iterations that we truly learn and grow in our craft.
