In this video I break down 3 coding mistakes I see beginners make over and over—and they’re the exact traps that keep you feeling “busy” but not actually improving. I keep it simple and practical, because it doesn’t matter if you’re learning Python, JavaScript, or anything else: these habits will either speed up your progress or quietly stall you for months. First, I talk about tutorial hell—when you keep watching course after course but never build anything on your own. Then I get into skipping fundamentals, which is basically trying to sprint before you can walk (and it always shows later when you hit harder projects). Finally, I cover ignoring version control, because if you’re not using Git early, you’re making your life harder than it needs to be. My goal with this one is to help you learn faster by focusing on building, understanding the basics, and setting up simple systems that make you a better developer long-term.
