Mistakes you should avoid as a learning developer! (Beginner)
- Get Out of This Hellish YouTube Tutorial Trap
YouTube lesson hell may include any type of video, not only coding tutorials. Sometimes we start watching a video on YouTube with the intention of taking a five-minute break, but end up watching for over an hour. Thus, give up entertaining yourself on YouTube and Instagram.
2. Spend Enough time to understand one thing
Giving an issue or topic insufficient time to fully comprehend before moving on to the next is a major error that we should avoid since learning to code is a patient game.
3. If you don’t understand the code, don’t copy and paste it.
If you comprehend the code, copying and pasting it is OK. However, as beginners, we should not copy with pasting without knowing the code.
4. Do not Skip Debugging.
In the life of a developer, debugging plays a crucial part and may be considered a necessary skill for all developers. Consequently, don’t be frightened to debug.
5. Do not be motivated instead be disciplined.
Motivation is a nice thing, but as a developer, it is not a good thing to have motivation alone. You should approach your studies and work with discipline. Furthermore, you have to do it consistently.
Conclusion
In this guide, we discussed some of the mistakes developers make in their coding journeys. These mistakes won’t make or break your learning, but fixing them as early as possible will help you grow a lot faster.
