This website looks like a fucking Fandom wiki with how much shit is all over the screen right now. After I clicked the sad emoji to push past the ad blocker thing it hit me with a Google sign-in prompt (useless because I do not use Google) and then hit me with a second, proprietary captive login prompt that I could also skip past.

I literally just want to know how to add a column to a dataframe because I've never used Python before, all my coding experience is in stuff like OCaml and MIPS Assembly, and god forbid they make it df.append() or df.addColumn() or anything intuitive like that (I thought Python was a language of the future?), and the pandas documentation is written like a Carl Hiaasen novel, and Stack Overflow would just mark me as a duplicate and cite the Greeks adding columns to the Parthenon as a reference. And now Geeks for Geeks, my last refuge for tutorials, has decided to populate my screen with all sorts of desperate engagement-farming windows rather than, you know, let me access the information.

I teach CS undergraduates discrete math and algorithms. That's (part of) my job in real life. I would be ashamed as an educator to link to a free math tutorial website that looked like this. Why should it be acceptable for the coding side of CS?

Please, for the love of god, I'm begging for a way to learn programming that isn't cursed

Yah, geeks for geeks has always been a little sus, but with the new design it's unusable.

Also, yah, I have no idea why pandas is like it is. Why are the APIs for Index and Column slightly different? Why do I never know which one I'm going to get? No idea how it became the go-to library for working with tabular data. We have SQL!
