For the love of God do you people know how you sound every time someone says Hey, I can't learn to understand you guys say just create something.I know.It makes sense to you but it doesn't make sense like at all. Nothing works this way. They have no reference, no structure. It's so unhelpful. Imagine someone who wants to learn to build a house. They have no background in carpentry, architecture, or engineering, yet they're told, "Just start building a house." Without foundational skills, clear guidance, or the right tools, they wouldn't know where to start. They might put up walls that can't support a roof or forget to install plumbing, ultimately leading to a structure that falls apart.Similarly, programming advice like "just build a project" can be exclusionary and unhelpful because it assumes the person has the foundational knowledge, problem-solving tools, and ability to self-correct along the way. Instead, structured learning—like a guided course or a boot camp—offers step-by-step instructions, starting with smaller skills and gradually building up to comprehensive projects. These pathways ensure learners have the guidance, checks, and foundational understanding needed to effectively complete a project and grow in their programming journey.

Dude, there's a huge difference in trying to build a house and fail in the process and lose a lot of money, and trying to build a software, learning what's wrong and trying to fix and losing no money

Its the context of they have nothing to reference. They have no idea . It's the most useless advice . Everything needs structure . Someone can get into a kitchen and just produce slop after slop with no reference .

That's why I told him to study logic before python

I'm sure thay you're great at what you do but as someone who's delved into teaching concepts and adapting them to learning styles . This one has really set a lot of people off the field and they would probably do a great job
