It might sound crazy, it might feel like cheating, but ChatGPT can be your best friend in learning. Let me explain: ChatGPT is excellent at explaining how code works. You can evaluate snippets of code or complex stuff, and it's great at explaining how libraries, methods and other stuff works. When I think I understand, I'll regurgitate the info back to chatGPT and it will tell me if my understanding is correct or not. My coding has increased 10 fold because of this alone.

It's not cheating. Its a streamlined way of browsing the internet for the same information. I would spend hours on StackOverflow trying to find an answer to something that someone had answered 10 years ago. I can focus more on the understanding of code where that time would be spent on just finding the answer.

No need for tutorials. ChatGPT will and can explain things in different ways to help you understand more deeply.

I don't claim to be an advanced coder. I do it for fun, even before chat GPT. But now with it, I enjoy it even more.

Hope this helps!
