- Waterluvian 8y agoI learned programming faster when I had no clue how awful I was doing it. I just kept going and bumping into things a lot. Now learning a new language is hard because I'm trapped in thus mindset of, "surely this isn't the most time efficient way to learn this..." Only recently have I made some progress by not looking back and coding myself into a wall even if I think I can see the wall coming.

Now I know what to expect and I end up with something finished and useful most of the time. I suppose sometimes beginners attempt things that experts think are too hard but it ends up that you can make a workable solution even if it is structured horrible.
