Just read that 90% of people who try coding give up in the first month
I was on a site called CodeNewbie last night and they had a whole page about dropout rates. It surprised me because I almost quit after two weeks of just reading theory. Maybe jumping into building a small calculator app first would have helped. Do you think hands-on practice from day one is better than textbook learning?

Actually, starting with a textbook makes way more sense. If you jump straight into building something, you'll just be copying code without understanding why it works. That calculator app would be a mess of guesswork and frustration. Learning the rules first gives you a solid base so you can actually solve problems later instead of just following tutorials.

Come on, it's just a calculator app. People learn by doing and fixing their own messes. The stakes are pretty low here.

My uncle tried to build a deck without reading the manual first. He had to take the whole thing apart twice. Some foundations are worth the boring start.
