OH! Actually, you weren't supposed to code anything in that exercise, it was just giving an overview of the next thing that is actually step-by-step. You shpuld just click run without writing anything to get to that. Wellll. It didn't say that as clearly as it could have.

I just ended a bug report with "Also, the forum doesn't exist".

Also, it didn't work with python 3 stuff even though the course should have been changed to that.

Also, when it worked, it still failed me, and I only passed when I produced some other error in a misguided effort to fix things.

I'm definitely amused, well.

Okay I think I'd be super confused if I didn't already know what functions are and that they return stuff (it somehow wasn't explained but there was a thing where you had to make something return False? Which would be super weird to do if you didn't know what that stuff was supposed to be?)

And… Codecademy used to be more actually writing stuff, I think? I'm still stuck in the basics, but well, here right now… there are a lot of puzzles that are thinking only, like "if you think that thing will do the thing, make this string Y" or "fill in the blank to make the thing do the thing"
I'm not sure what I think of that. It's… weird? It feels misplaced? Like I guess that kind of thing is nice, but why replace actual doing stuff with that?

Codecademy is so rude, omg. No, Codecademy, I am not there anymore, you bored me to death by trying to teach me "not" and not letting me skip it. There's so much that I have to learn, and that I'd love to "get back to coding" for, but yeah no not that. https://computerfairi.es/media/AQiN_NmLhIEC1Q121gs
