I'm sure you just meant to highlight that reading tutorials is often a better experience than just messing around and hoping to get somewhere (which is why I didn't downvote you), but on first reading it comes across as "if you can't commit to devoting nights and weekends to systematically learn how to code, you're doing it wrong and you're probably a bit of an idiot – like all of those PHP script kiddies."
