To me, your concerns are actually the biggest learning and takeaway. I learned and am learning programming completely on my own without peers so it's difficult to understand where I stand. I watched and still am watching this kind of videos to see how others are thinking and approaching problems and reinforce that there probably aren't genius programmers out there who just bang out code without mistakes, errors and iteration. Without it I always felt bad / inadequate as it's easy to fall into that way of thinking and constantly second-guess myself. I find it immensely helpful and don't really understand why some people here are so quick in dismissing it as not useful. But I can see how under different circumstances, say, learning programming in school or otherwise with peers or mentors involved, it's easy to forget that this might play a significant role in feeling comfortable with where you are and how you're doing.
