Hey everyone! I'm a 21-year-old self-taught Python enthusiast, and I've picked up some basic HTML and CSS along the way. I'm really passionate about programming and find it fascinating that I can create things that others struggle with. I'm currently learning Python and am thinking about applying for internships to gain more experience. Do you think it's realistic for me to secure an internship with just the basics? Also, I would love any advice on what to focus on next to improve my chances of getting in.

Getting an internship really hinges on a mix of your current skills, social skills, the specific place you're applying to, and any connections you might have. So, it’s totally possible, but just be mindful of these factors as you apply.
While it's great that you know basic Python, HTML, and CSS, remember that many people have similar skills now. This is especially true as companies tend to seek candidates with niche skills rather than just basic knowledge. Keep learning and expanding your skill set based on what employers are looking for!
I see what you mean. I guess I'll need to step up my game and work on some projects to stand out!
