I am learning how to code, and one important thing that I have realized recently is that it can be bad to focus on building specific projects too much. I have spent a lot of time banging my head into the wall on specific implementation problems that might have been spent more efficiently learning from tutorials or books. Since I have started setting aside time for "pure learning" I have gained the background knowledge in languages and libraries to figure out how to solve problems that come up.
- muraiki 14y agoYeah, I did the same thing in that my first project was a bit overly ambitious! I ended up getting discouraged because I would always pour my programming time into this single project, but I simply didn't know enough in order to design it properly. I found that by setting it aside and working on something else, I gained new perspectives as to how to approach the problems that I got stuck on with my first project.
