Are you stuck on tutorial hell loop? Do you constantly find yourself watching youtube videos and not making any progress, or when you close the tutorial tab and fire up your favourite editor only to find out that the content went along with the tutorial? Yes, I have been a victim of that for so long, until I recently learnt that I wasn't making any progress by watching tutorials, hell it really feels good to watch and think you are consuming knowledge on many occasions it is never true.

Watching tutorials is like boxing, you might practice by punching the punchline but you will never become a great boxer until you practice with real people and by that, I mean going on the ring. Same with programming you might spend a whole day watching a Javascript crash course by Traversy media but unless you go put your hands dirty by trying to build something of your own, you will probably never going to improve your programming skills.

A solution I found out that probably tends to work with me best is by building something similar along with the course, not necessarily something complex, start with something small and continuing on adding. Follow the rule KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID (kiss). Programming is a roller coaster, never expect it to be simple. You keep on grinding and eventually, everything will start to make sense at the end.
