released a video [40 Sec] that might resonate with many of us in the early stages of learning.

Watch on TikTok

The three things he brings up are the following:

Coding doesn't always look productive
Knowing Isn't the Same as Using
Coding Feels Different When it's Your Own

So I wanted to focus more on the first point he raises.

When you are moving away from tutorials and trying to implement things you learned in your own project, things will always take longer. That is a fact - you are moving away from hand-holding and Guidance and trying to figure it out on your own. You're recalling information that you have received, and sometimes you just have to look things up to remember how things work.

Even when you are at a job, it's not as simple as you sitting at a computer, and you're just going to start typing. Many times, when you get a ticket assigned to you, there will be research time to figure out how the part you are looking to fix works and to come up with a plan for implementing your solution.

👉 Have you felt or experienced any of these things that he is talking about?
