RE: How to become a better programmer using Code Wars

First I have to learn a language, then I can try this out. 🤣

I am such a copycat visual learner. My biggest pitfall with learning coding languages was in following the tutorials so closely, I could never bridge things from one lesson into the next very well.

When I write my own code, I'd be hunting through for some kind of syntax glossary all day to create a mad logic statement to do something simple in a complicated way, only to be told by someone that there is a library with a function I didn't know about that will do that much cleaner/easier. Makes me want to pull my hair out when I am stuck teaching myself how to build a vacuum cleaner when all I have is toaster oven instructions.

Practice, practice, practice is the only way to fix my bad memory problems and lack of experience.

This is very common I think. Analysis Paralysis is a common phrase in productivity, it means to continuously focus on solving a problem but never actually solving it. I think the same idea applies to tutorials, many just keep doing tutorial after tutorial rather than actually building something.
