My brother told me to just start building something, anything, instead of watching tutorials forever.
He's a mechanic, not a coder, but he said 'you don't learn to fix cars by watching videos, you learn by getting your hands dirty and breaking stuff.' That clicked for me. I was stuck in tutorial hell for 6 months, always watching but never doing. The next day I opened my editor and tried to make a dumb little website that just shows a random joke. It was full of bugs, but I actually learned more in that one afternoon. What's the first small, broken thing you built that taught you the most?

Saw a blog post calling it the "tutorial treadmill," that really stuck with me.

Ngl that's the best advice. My first real project was a text based game that kept crashing because I messed up the loops. Figuring out why it froze every time I typed "quit" taught me more about logic than any video.
