The problem with following tutorials
If you're trying to learn how to code, and you've been following tutorial after tutorial, you might still feel stuck when you go to start a new project on your own.
You need to try and do things without the help of a tutorial sometimes, and use lessons and tutorials to help you when you are stuck, rather than blindly following along with them though. #Shorts
