Hey Robert, ever thought about building a quick little game in Python that just prints random jokes? It's super chill, no big effort, but gives a nice pattern to follow. What do you think?
Robert Robert
Sounds like a good exercise in randomization and I/O, but if you’re just going to print jokes from a flat list, you’re missing an opportunity to practice more robust techniques. Think about pulling the jokes from a JSON file, or even querying a jokes API—then you’ll get fresh content and a little bit of network handling under your belt. For a quick prototype, a small list is fine, but keep the architecture in mind if you want to expand.

Yeah, that makes sense. I’ll add a JSON file or pull from an API next so it’s more flexible and we get some network handling too. Thanks for the tip.
Robert Robert
Good plan. Just remember to handle the network failures gracefully, otherwise a broken API call will crash your whole script. And if you pull from JSON, load it once and cache it—no need to read the file on every joke. Good luck.
