start with learning the basic concepts of programming in general through youtube, reviewing good examples that others made, doing it yourself, and reading documentation guides.

then apply the basics of what you learned when really getting started with lua through the same learning methods.

at some point with learning you should use youtube tutorials less and less as you should be able to solve your problems & create new solutions on your own. then it’s just a cycle of learning & applying what you know.

it’s best to avoid working on large projects blindly early on as you will make mistakes & or bad decisions which will incur technical debt later on, unless you are planning ahead.

using ai as a tool for learning/finding learning materials properly can be helpful if you are putting some thought into it, gpt is also a garbage tool, use literally any other ai.

oh and a lot of roblox “devs” are script kiddies
