A quick warning about how you're probably learning to code
For my first year, I just watched YouTube tutorials and copied the code line by line. I thought I was learning, but I couldn't build anything on my own. About three months ago, I hit a wall trying to make a simple to-do list app. The change came when I started using a site called FreeCodeCamp and actually doing the projects. Now I force myself to write the code first, then check the solution. It's slower, but I finally understand the 'why'. Has anyone else switched from passive watching to active building and seen a real difference?
