PSA: Stop copying tutorials line for line

Spent 3 weeks stuck on a Python project. Followed every tutorial exactly. Nothing worked. Finally I just deleted everything and wrote it my own way. Used print statements to debug step by step. Now I actually understand what my code does. Anyone else hit a wall copying tutorials?

3 weeks of tutorials taught me nothing but copying messes with your head.

What's the point of tutorials if you can't think for yourself?
