This isn't punishment. This is negative reinforcement. This applies to an ongoing unwanted behavior.

When you say "terminal" I think what you really mean is a "shell" which runs within the Terminal. Googling for "bash", "shell scripting", "beginner" and "hello world" are likely to lead you to more useful content.

Also, as much as it's helpful to write code, it's also helpful to read code and try to understand what it's doing. Ask lots of questions.

I wonder if anyone has looked into the relationship between time-of-day and battery level? Could it be the case that phone batteries are typically lower across the board at certain times of day? If most people aren't charging their phone during business hours, perhaps it's likely that batteries are typically lower around rush (surge) hour. A correlation doesn't imply causality sort of thing.

We already have plenty of curated news outlets. It's entirely possible we will simply end up with another one.

I don't care so much about the story, it was the level of detail you doled out about your patient, where it was, what year, etc.
