Exactly the same for me: the major breakout success was having ChatGPT teach me how to use pandas. It really shone as an interactive manual with worked examples.

Taking the training wheels off isn’t something I’ve really nailed though: for example, I keep coming back with the same questions about how to melt and pivot. I can self diagnose as this showing I didn’t really spend enough time understanding the answers the first time around.

To be fair, that also could be because the pandas API is…not great. When I used to write lots of python and pandas I basically always had the pandas docs open intuitive and memorable it is not.
