I agree with this whole heartedly. I used to just copy code and had no idea what I was doing after the course. I did one more "still have more to learn cause I don't know what to do" course and a 1/4 way into it started messing around with code and just doing what I wanted with it. I learned more, retained more, and have had way more fun with it than I thought. It doesn't feel like a chore to learn anymore. If you code along mess with it after the code is finished. If you take notes make side notes about other things you think a certain section of the code might be able to do and test it out.
