Transcript

Stuck in tutorial hell? Imagine for the longest time you are watching tutorial after tutorial, you are probably doing that. Whether you are watching Clever Programmer tutorials and you are doing build after build, or you are watching Udemy or something else out there, you are not making a lot of forward progress. Are you working on projects that excite you and are you working on stuff where it is useful to you and going on your portfolio? Are you able to code from scratch and build real-world things? Because if you can not do that, you are not going to make any forward progress. You are going to be kind of just like stuck forever.
