The System I Use to Help Beginners Actually Learn to Code

If you feel stuck in tutorial hell, try this. Ship one tiny project every day. Not a month from now, not a giant forever project. Daily. Make it small: a button that changes the background color, a tiny to-do list, something personal. Set a timer for 15–60 minutes, record yourself, talk through it, and deploy it no matter how ugly it looks. The goal is completion and sharing. A bad but real, deployed thing beats hours of watching tutorials. Do this for 30 days and you will have 30 shipped things, real reps under time pressure, and a public trail of learning. It is how the real world works: deadlines force decisions and focus. Keep each project personal so it feels worth showing. Opportunities start to show up when you have a pile of things you actually built.
