Do you remember when you used insert last time in a real program? I almost always need append. If people need something else, it's not hard to google "python add item to beginning of list" or whatever actually needs to be done. A mention about googling these things might be good though.

Can you add an explanation about how pop is different from remove? Also, I think names.pop(1) is a thing that isn't needed very often in real-world programming (like insert), but popping the last thing with names.pop() is more useful.

The most common way to nest tuples and lists is to have a list of tuples. For example, if you have names and phone numbers, it could be like [('Akuli', '123'), ('luisPinedo', '456')]. Maybe show that?

Is there an ## Examples section on this page? This could go there. If there isn't, you can create one.
| a = 11 | ||
| >>> a **= 2 # a = a ^ 2 | ||
| >>> a | ||

Do we really need this many examples? A couple examples would be good though, maybe with strings because not everyone like numbers and math.

These things are best suited for "Fix this program" exercises IMO. What do you think?
