I honestly never thought that building an algorithm was this simple... the way you lead up to the algorithms is brilliant. It makes a lot of sense if you watch the whole video.

Looking good Hank. Working through it now. I appreciate the time you are putting in to help us. Thank you.

You’re giving the average cybersecurity YouTuber a run for their money! Holy poop the value of this channel!
Here’s wishing you great success!

[LanaLove-hvmq]

I already had a good understanding of the python basics, so I skipped to the functions section and followed along after that. Every early concept in the video stacks on top of the others and you finally end up with the algorithm... it's pretty crazy actually.

[armanvakili]

Thanks for the breakdown. I actually like the personal touch, and the content gets pretty advanced towards the second half of the tutorial. I'll be referring back to this regularly.

[Sayannx]

Finally done...very good tutorial especially for admin/cybersec scripting.
Thanks Hank!

You can setup Neovim to work like an IDE, and can get it pretty close. Even with being able to use AI like in the Cursor IDE. It takes some work and time to get it all manually set up, but It works perfect for me. I like the feel of it better than using standard IDE's like VSCode or Cursor, since I can customize literally everything to make it my own. I just setup the 'avante.nvim' and 'ollama.nvim' plugins in it, to give me the same abilities of an AI assistant, using my locally ran Ollama models. The only thing I haven't found yet is the ability to step through code, function by function for debugging, like I think you can in Pycharm. Can open a split window terminal and run stuff, but doesn't have the same debugging abilities. You've been pumping out some great videos, keep it up man!

[John-yxis]

Awesome thanks Hank. Love your channel. Yep I"m learning Python atm and I was hoping you would do a Python video after you did the Linux one

[MuhammadAmirKhan-fccz]

I watch in Bangladesh
I love you bro
I love hacking ❤❤

[slydawg]

Thanks for this video, you break down how to build an algorithm in python so simple. On the part where you talk about commenting, you highlight the comment line and make some changes did you set up your IDE a certain way to do this or is this out-of-the-box setup of Pycharm?
Awesome job!!!

You can't run a script on the shell, you would personally have to run the code line by line, which is boring and time consuming.
You can just save it in a note pad/ text editor and run the file or import it.
