Observe. Hypothesize. Fix — Python logic, state, and sharp edges.

A progressive Python debugging gym: classic logic bugs, aliasing and mutation traps, then famous footguns — mutable defaults, late-binding closures, identity vs equality. An AI tutor stays Socratic: questions and layered hints, not spoilers.

Learn with Ada, your AI coding mentor — ask questions or tap I’m stuck in any lesson for a nudge without spoilers.
