6 Reasons Why You WILL NEVER Learn To Code by SSIPON(m): 2:11pm On Sep 22, 2020 |
1. You’re not making a real project One of the biggest problems HTML/JavaScript/Python students run into is that they spent too much time thinking about code. Yeah, yeah… you’re great at taking quizzes, but you’re terrified when it comes to actually build something real. HTML & CSS Project for Beginners Go and make something! Don’t know what to make? I’m sure you have friends who need a website. What about your dad? Or a local non-profit? Figure it out. Hell, you could just make a one-page art project of awesomeness. 2. You don’t understand problem solving Pay attention to how you solve problems, and not just how to use the tools. Otherwise you’ll keep solving the same problems over and over again. It’s less interesting to “learn to code” just for the sake of leveling up your skill set. Learning how to solve actual, real-world problems is the skill. There’s a difference. 3. Process makes perfect (and you don’t have a process) Once you solve a common problem (for example, “How do I set up Github?”) outline the steps you used and duplicate the process next time. Otherwise, each time you begin, you’ll be starting from scratch. Ew! No. Define a distinct process, and improve upon your process each time. 4. You think that you need to know everything “I have no idea” is a recurring daily panic—but I’ve learned to breathe deep and ease into the fear. I’m telling you right now: you don’t have to know everything. There— I said it. I teach HTML Python, and SQL, and even now (as a teacher), people ask me things about those languages that I don’t have the answer to. Just free yourself, and say it out loud, “I have no idea.” Use Google to figure out the answer. Stay curious, keep learning. 5. You think using Google is cheating Well… you’re wrong. IMHO, 75% of developing code is Googling, …and it’s ok to admit that. Don’t be afraid to Google the problem 17 different ways until you find the answer you’re looking for. 6. You don’t surround yourself with other brilliant coders Learn from people who are smarter than you. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Go to Meetups and Hackathons, take classes, get an internship, go out into the world, and live. 3 Likes 1 Share |

7. You have a girlfriend. Software development and having a girlfriend are mutually exclusive. It's either one or the other. 1 Like |
