Stop Overthinking Coding! The Real Way to Learn Programming Fast | From Paralysis to Progress

Are you tired of endlessly scrolling through tutorials and language guides, feeling overwhelmed by the vast world of coding? It's time to break free from the overthinking trap and make tangible progress in your programming journey. In this enlightening video, we delve into the common pitfalls that new and experienced coders face, such as the paralysis of choice and the illusion that academic knowledge alone leads to mastery.
We share a personal story of transformation from a collector of resources to a doer, emphasizing the importance of hands-on practice and learning from mistakes. Discover practical steps to advance your coding skills, including engaging with real projects on GitHub, initiating your own creative ideas, and the invaluable process of iterating based on feedback.
Inspired by Reid Hoffman's wisdom, we encourage you to embrace imperfection and start coding now. Whether you're creating a simple to-do list or taking on a small issue in an open-source project, every line of code you write brings you a step closer to becoming a proficient programmer. Join us as we guide you from paralysis to progress, helping you turn your coding aspirations into achievable goals.

I made my character move by it self without looking at a bunch of tutorials. I felt so accomplished

Just sharing my coding journey with Python. Started off with a project to convert steps into miles, but my first code was a mess-totally unorganized and barely working. Next day, I faced the challenges, decided to tidy things up without even knowing about def functions. Now, I'm all about them! Learning how to organize my messy code with functions has been a game-changer. Passion projects really reinforce the basics of coding, and it's cool to note that getting stuck is okay. I've found that asking for help or looking things up is fine, but the key is understanding the solution, not just copying and pasting it.

yea, i exactly started jist like u did,dont know if everything will turn out fine,glad that u did

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Hey, cool to hear about your Python journey! Starting with a step-to-miles project and learning to tidy up your code with functions is great. Remember, it's okay to hit snags and seek help. Understanding the why behind solutions is key. Keep it up and enjoy coding! 😎👍

All you have to do is practice, you can't learn to play the piano by reading or watching videos about it, it's the same with code. Also when you write code, it's okay to use tutorials but when the tutorial is done, tinker with it. Find out what does or doesn't work. Learn new things to add new features, get to a point where you can write a program using the skills you learned from the tutorial on your own. When you want to learn a new skill, try and read the documentation of the language, it may not make sense at first but with practice it will. Good luck peeps

Well said, thank you!

Consistency, experimentation, and learning new things will help you progress so much

[@williambreeze2659]

Solid video!

[@GodLike420s]

Really good advice

[@SFgamer]

Its not enough to learn the material but *apply* what you learned. Gained feedback, improve, refine, and hone.

[@msadesivo2553]

This is great, Nice one my guy!

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Glad you like it!

[@user-zk7iq1qh2t]

Uauu this is amazing, continue

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Thank you very much!

[@BFT_MehulLunia]

Great advice👌

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Glad you think so!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks!

[@thelmaotiono3999]

Hi, I've been learning python for a year now... I haven't really gone far in it because I'm always trying to read or watch everything i can get on a course. I'm on object oriented programming now, and honestly i don't feel like a programmer I feel like a student studying programming like a course. When you mean i should build projects and read documentation while trying to be consistent does that mean even building projects that go beyond my level of expertise? Not sure I can build an app with my current state level of knowledge

[@Hamzaamin-ye9hr]

Well

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

🙌

[@kijin6447]

I'm just starting it out what programs do you recommend?

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Basic data structures and algorithms. Then small self contained programs (snake game, Todo list, expense tracker, etc). Then real world project

1:13 tonight....? 1 hour? aint even one hour left of tonight lmao

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Live like there is no tomorrow

[@rssszz7208]

Am learning cpp it's hard but still not gonna leave it

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Hey, props to you for sticking with C++ despite the challenges! It's a tough language, but your determination to keep at it is awesome.

[@edi4ever1]

BUT IM NOT READY

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

You are ready!

[@Skiddious]

Ur content reminds me of bigboxswe

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Thank you for the comment!

[@matasmatas7030]

Some people aren't meant for programming. I was naive believing that I could make it in programming. I just don't have the brain capacity to think, I'm too stupid. I'm in sales now and doing better. I tried many times to code but it doesn't click with me. Don't work hard and push yourself to the maximum. In the end, you will fail or you will be average. Try other things. It should be easy in the beginning if it's not then you are not made for it. Don't listen to KZbinrs who say you can be a programmer. It's their job to sell courses to you and if you are not understanding them then they will earn more money from you. The whole KZbin is a market to sell a dream to you. All of you are good at something, you just need to find it.

[@jayocaine2946]

Oh man, this is just not true at all. You just clearly have a bunch of shame, and you were almost definitely raised with crappy morals to have a defeatist attitude.

i am leaving this comment for my future audience (i will upload funny coding content from 1st jan 2024, its already scheduled) so take care of me 😅

[@TheLastHumanCoder]

Hey there! Dropping a note for your future fans, smart move! 😄 Can't wait to see your funny coding content starting 1st Jan 2024. Already marked my calendar!
