@drummatick @Google When did Google force someone to spend 100s of hours doing all of these? If someone doesn't have a passion for open-source, then it's better for him/her to stay away. Also, they have very limited slots, so it's not practically possible to accept all of the applicants.

@taniaban2712 Only if you've a strong foundational knowledge of Python (including some advanced concepts like Decorators and Classes). But I'll still suggest starting with the simple ones like Flask or FastAPI since they don't have lots of boilerplate code, unlike Django.
