Hello everyone!

[u/Superb-Toe-3523]

I just started a new job as an AI generalist (or AI trainer), I like it, I've always liked tech, but I know nothing about programming or anything like that, just the surface as any mortal. So, can I learn python and use my ASUS tuf 14 from 2022 to run the program and learn how to write code and maybe aspire to a good freelancing position later? Thank u in advance, for you answers.

Can you learn to code python with an Asus tuff 14 that. Absolutely. Will you be able to aspire to a freelance position. Not certain. Im not aware of the free lance market for developers.

I know that future is uncertain, maybe I just need to give it a try with a course and see what happens, at least I have time for learning new things now, thanks for the answer

Freelancing is in a rough spot.

You're PC isn't a problem. There are also things like Google Colab that could work if you're working on CPU intensive programs. Python environments can be kind of annoying to set up and colab lets you skip that part.

I see, someone told me I have to learn base, then colab, I'll look into that, thanks

How did you get this job?

AI trainer

AI trainee, I suppose...?

Your laptop is more than fine, honestly any laptop from the last ten years can run Python, it's not heavy at all. The freelancing part is where I'd slow down though, nobody really hires a beginner to write code for them, and those AI trainer jobs usually want you to already be comfortable with the basics first. What I'd do is just start learning and build a few small things you can actually show people, that's what opens doors later, not the laptop specs.
