Why You Get Stuck
- False Sense of Progress: Tutorials provide a curated, bug-free path, which makes you feel like you’ve mastered a topic when you’ve really just mastered following instructions.
- Lack of Critical Thinking: Because someone else did the hard work of debugging and architectural planning, your brain doesn't practice the problem-solving skills required in real-world development.
- Fear of Failure: Moving away from a guided tutorial to an empty project can cause anxiety or "imposter syndrome," pushing you back to the safety of another course.
