Bootcamp grad in Austin told me to stop using tutorials

Oh man, I totally get that frustration! When I was learning, I hit a wall with tutorials too. What really clicked for me was taking a project I actually cared about, like a simple habit tracker, and just building it without any hand-holding. I would Google specific things when I got stuck, like "how to save data in local storage" or "javascript array filter example", and slowly put the pieces together. That hands on struggle taught me way more than following along with someone else's code ever did.

@rosejackson that's actually a really good point about building something you actually want. Tutorials feed you the answers but your own project forces you to figure out the why behind each line. The real learning happens when you break stuff and have to fix it yourself.
