If you're a beginner programmer, you've probably experienced the frustration of getting stuck in a never-ending loop of online programming tutorial...

Totally agree! New devs, will fail and that is okay. Not trying only keeps you dreaming.
For me, when I'm facing lack of motivation or struggling with a bug, I have to take a technology break (like no phone or laptop). This helps me come back focused with out distractions.
Absolutely! Very often the best way to solve a problem is to take a break and do something, then come back with fresh eyes
I need to add: competitive programming / challenge programming websites are not useful for learning to program.
First learn to program using a good programming book or by taking classes, then (for fun) use a competitive/challenge programming as an enjoyable diversion. For fun.
One way to take action is to try to solve small problems with code. Putting into practice the knowledge developed in the tutorials. It has worked for me.
It is important to keep the focus on small problems. Otherwise, anxiety can consume us.
So helpful thanks for sharing👍
I'm glad to hear it!
Good point.
I really love how you spelled definitely wrong when you are talking about bugs... I honestly think you should leave it, it's hilarious.
I like to live dangerously :D
I know this all too-well. And when you've invested time and resources into following the tutorial you discover it's several versions out of date and much of it is deprecated.
What would you like me to write about next? Let me know!
The key to learning (as backed by substantial research) is "spaced learning". In the context of programming tutorials, this was a game changer for me: After going through all the lessons on a single topic (say 3 hours top), I close the tutorial, go over the main points in my mind for a few minutes and then I switch to something else for the rest of the day. Next day, I try to repeat everything the instructor did starting from a blank project and all on my own (no googling). You'd be amazed at two things: first, the amount of things you don't know that you thought you did, and second: the amount of things you will remember after this technique becomes a habit.
