My buddy did the exact same thing, 3 years of Udemy courses, and he could follow along fine until something broke in a way the tutorial never showed. Then he just stared at the screen. What finally got him unstuck was picking one small dumb app idea (a workout tracker, nothing fancy) and forcing himself to finish it even when he had to Google every single error. Took him like 6 weeks and the thing was ugly as hell, but he said the freezing stopped once he'd been lost and found his way out a dozen times. The bootcamp guy isn't wrong that grads look stuff up, but looking stuff up isn't the problem. It's never having pushed through a broken thing on your own that keeps you stuck.

8 rounds over 2 weeks for a coffee shop logo is insane. The real kicker is she had a Pinterest board the whole time and just never sent it, that's like going to a restaurant and refusing to say what you actually want to eat. Next time someone says 'pop' I'd just flat out ask for their reference board before I even open the design file.
