Unpopular opinion: my cousin in Sacramento told me to stop watching tutorials and just build something broken on purpose
I called my cousin in Sacramento two weeks ago to complain that I'd been stuck on Python for a month and couldn't finish a single project. He laughed and said "you're not learning, you're just watching, write something that breaks every time." So I spent three days building a dumb little tool that scrambles text, it broke constantly, and I fixed each bug by searching error messages instead of following a video. I learned more in those 72 hours than in the 30 days before. How do you all get past the tutorial loop?

My grandma learned to cook by burning stuff, not watching cooking shows.
