That being said, what are some projects could be recommended?     The first, check out checkio (Pun not intended). [...]

We all make mistakes now and again, so it'd be helpful to make a list of things other programmers should avoid. One of the lessons we learned the hard way was not to change too many things before coming to a stable point you can test. Sort of like you said, "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, [...]

The question is, at what age is it [...]
