a = True
while a:
user = input('Why do you like programming?\n(Type Q to quit)\n')
if user == 'Q' or 'q':
break
ask.write(user)

Answer 1

If user == "Q" or user =="q":

Everybody comes across that bug on his coding journey
😉

Answer 2

I
"q"
evaluates True because "q" is a not empty string.

If user == "Q" or "q":
Is therefore always true.

Some better opportunities might be
If user.lowercase() =="q"# oops was it lowercase?
Or
If user in["Q","q"]:

Just as u want
