Do you ever create shellscripts to automate part of your Fedora 29's work? If so, that's writing code. Explore branching, looping, sending signals back and forth using kill. When you find your shellscript's runtime performance too slow, or when you find it inconvenient to code bigger programs in shellscripts, it's time to switch to Python. By the way, I begin all my shellscripts with #!/bin/sh, not #!/bin/bash, because Bash is a great interactive shell but it's bloated overkill for shellscripts.
