Honestly, this was me for a long time and I believe many programmers go through this. When trying to build a project, I would look things up on stackoverflow and try to follow tutorials, but then I would do something that caused an error and I had no idea how to fix it. I thought I broke it for good and just abandoned the project. This happened many times with many projects. I became so frustrated, I wanted to give up. But I couldn't. After a while, I became more confident and began to understand what things meant, and how to fix errors (all from just struggling with the language).

There was this long period of struggling to get things to work but I feel like there was this moment where a switch turned on and I began to feel more confident writing code and solving problems.

My recommendation is you keep on struggling. Keep on messing up and embrace failure. Eventually, you'll figure it out. Enjoy the journey of learning to code, don't be so fixed on being the best right away.
