5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Software Engineer 

Exactly building personal cheat sheets works a lots!! Especially while watching tutorials

Wow, thanks for leaving this comment! Always love hearing that, keep up the great work :)

same situation here bro. the thing is i can do it but fear of starting kills the motivation and i start procrastinating

Small bites & baby steps.

Have a project idea in mind and try to build it on your own. The number one thing is that google is your friend. Dont be afraid to google anything and everything you need. If you dont understand something, its not a bad thing. You can get help easily. Try to solve problems that occur. Like if you are building a calculator. You will see how do I get the user input? How do I save the input? How do I do the calculations? And how do I display the output? Create steps for everything. And understand that no one knows everything. We all just google what we need.

Why do you want to code? Look at the things that interest you. You can't just rely on willpower. You need to know your own personal motivation. What's fun about coding to you? Is it the ability to make your own games, the problem solving, the flexibility that you have to make a program your own? If you only keep on doing tutorials without really knowing what you want, you'll be learning dozens of skills without really getting better at the things that make you feel excited. Where's the fun, the excitement, the fulfillment? And because you lack focus, you're learning little bits of everything at once without really making a lot of visible progress. That's frustrating. Remember, the world of coding is HUGE. Without focus, you'll get to level 1 of 100 skills. You'll be learning plenty but it'll feel like you're still level 1. Whereas if you'd focus on 10 skills, you'd actually have the energy to get to level 10. So establish what things you want to get out of these tutorials. Be more intentional about the skills you choose to level up, and be consistent with the skills you chose to practice. Have a clear path you want to follow. And when you do those tutorials, don't just watch them, actually follow along. Write the code, solve errors, get a concrete result done. Look at the end product of the tutorial and question what you'd like to improve or to add. And then try to do it. E.g. a game - More levels, different colors, more custom design options? Afterwards, also write down the things that need more practice, write down the areas that were fun to you. This cycle of reflection will help narrow down what niche will work best for you and how to proceed.

write small programs to apply concepts you've learned, the only way to remember them is in context. Soon enough you'll be able to write bigger programs

You're so welcome!

I would please to, thanks in advance

Glad it was helpful!

Is this made with AI? Are you experimenting or smth?

You cannot learn anything after python.. 🤣

AND TIP #5!!!

I’ve got no issue being bald one day 💪
