Hey everyone! I'm a 36-year-old CPA working at a top accounting firm, and I've noticed the rise of AI and ML in our industry, which has made me consider my future. I'm currently pursuing a master's in physics because I'm really keen on building AI and ML models that rely heavily on math. My question is: should I learn Python while I'm studying physics? Are there specific projects I could work on? I'm particularly interested in analyzing money flow in the crypto trading world—does that sound too complicated for a beginner?

That's a solid goal, but it might be a bit ambitious for your first project. A good way to approach programming and software design is to break down big goals into smaller, manageable tasks. For example, if you're interested in creating a trading platform, start small! You could model the price of a stock at a specific point in time, say with simple bar data for a day or hour. Once you have that, work on building a history that tracks those individual data points. After that, you can model a portfolio that keeps track of buying, selling, profits, and losses. It’s important to take it step-by-step! As for Python, it’s definitely a good fit unless you need real-time analysis—then you'd want to consider something like C or Rust later on.

Thanks for the advice! Starting with basic static data analysis makes sense. I'll focus on that before jumping into real-time analysis later!
