How to become better at coding

I have been in the machine learning world for the past one year. I only know Python programming language and have proficiency in PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, and other ML tools.

But coding has always been my weak part. Recently, I was building transformers from scratch and got a reality check. Though I built it successfully by watching a YouTube video, there are a lot of cases where I get stuck (I don’t know if it’s because of my weakness in coding). The way I see people write great code depresses me; it’s not within my capability to be this fluent. Most of the time, my weakness in writing good code gets me stuck. Without the help of ChatGPT and other AI tools, it’s beyond my coding capability to do a good coding project.

If anyone is here with great suggestions, please share your thoughts and experiences.
