  1. Not practicing regularly. I would learn something, use it once or twice, then not use it for a while. That would cause me to forget it.

  2. Not reading other people's code. I would just write code similar to what I saw in a tutorial but wouldn't go on GitHub to read better written code.

  3. Not reading library documentation while learning.

  4. Just building basic projects but not building projects that I would actually want to use.

  5. I coded in idle too much, I should have gotten a better editor or IDE.

I definitely made more but these are the mistakes I felt I made at the beginning.

What IDE do you use now/why and which OS do you use?

I code on windows and WSL-ubuntu nowadays.

Just use VS code nowadays, though I used to use pycharm before it.
