This is Why You Can't Write Your Own Lines of Code
Have you ever felt like you’re just not improving in programming, no matter how hard you try? Like you’re stuck in the same spot, spinning your wheels, and getting nowhere? Believe me, I’ve been there, and I know how frustrating it can be.
Recently, I came across a Reddit post that summed it all up perfectly:
"I don’t feel like I’m progressing anymore. I’ve been programming since 2022, but I feel stuck. Every project I start just gets too hard. I spend hours fixing one problem and then give up. Setting up, making files, doing preludes-it all takes forever, and I never actually get deep into development. What should I do?"
If you’ve ever felt like this, let me tell you-you’re not alone. Every single programmer, from beginners to pros, has hit that wall. But here’s the good news: it’s not permanent. Today, I’m sharing five practical and powerful tips to help you break through this programming plateau. And trust me, you’ll want to stay till the last one-it’s a game-changer.
The first tip is to change the way you think about progress.
It’s easy to get caught up in thinking, “I’m not moving fast enough” or “I’m not as good as others.” But here’s the truth: programming isn’t a race-it’s a journey.
Take a moment to remember why you started programming in the first place. Was it to build cool things? To challenge yourself? To solve problems? Whatever your reason, reconnect with that passion. Instead of focusing only on the big end goals, celebrate the process of learning and experimenting.
But before we move to the next tip, it has been noticed that 95% of people who are watching these videos, aren’t subscribed. So please stop the video for a second, and subscribe to the channel.
The next tip is to start small
Here’s the thing: we often set goals that are way too ambitious for where we currently are. Building an entire app or website from scratch sounds amazing, but when you’re overwhelmed, it’s hard to even get started.
So, scale it back. Pick a small, manageable task-like creating a basic calculator app or styling a single page of a website. These smaller projects are quick wins, and completing them boosts your confidence.
The next tip is to break your projects into smaller pieces.
When a project feels too hard, it’s often because you’re looking at the entire thing all at once. It’s like staring at a massive jigsaw puzzle and wondering where to even start.
What you should do is to break it down. Let’s say you want to build a portfolio website. Instead of thinking, “I need to finish the whole site,” focus on smaller pieces like “create the homepage,” “style the navbar,” or “add a contact form.”
The next tip is to track your wins no matter how small they seem.
It’s so easy to focus on what we can’t do yet. We compare ourselves to others or get stuck on problems, and it feels like we’re failing. But have you ever stopped to look back at how far you’ve already come?
Start keeping a “win journal.” Every time you solve a bug, complete a feature, or learn something new, write it down. Over time, you’ll have a record of all the progress you’ve made, and it’ll remind you that you’re moving forward, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
And the last step is to learn to rest, not quit.
Burnout is real, and programming can be mentally exhausting. If you’re staring at a problem for hours and getting nowhere, the solution isn’t to push harder-it’s to step away. Take a walk, play a game, or just relax.
When you come back, you’ll often see the problem with fresh eyes and a clearer mind. Resting isn’t giving up-it’s part of the process. Think of it like recharging your battery. You can’t expect yourself to keep going forever without taking breaks.
So, those are my five tips to break through the programming anxiety:
Shift your perspective,
Start small but aim big,
Break your projects into smaller chunks,
Track your wins, and
Learn to rest, not quit.
Which one are you going to try first? Let me know in the comments-I’d love to hear about your journey!

Thanks for tips, imma try em real quick!
Good Luck on your journey
I clicked on this video just to say, that i don't relate with the title i hate copying code from AI or anywhere for that matter. When i write it i know what could go wrong.
good
AI will always be one step behind humans. Take that from me!!
Great video
Thank you sir
I would say for first 2 to 3 years focus on problem solving skill with small projects. Do big projects in final year for job prep. In my experience, big company train you before contributing in their code base. Because you cannt learn development on your own. The youtuber it self has no any job experience and serving bullshit. You can acquire development skill any time bt problem solving skill take lot of time and dedication
Hi , I actually want an advice from you . I'm an 3rd year(completed 5th sem and in 10 days starting my 6th sem ) computer science undergraduate despite that I haven't done a single leetcode problem nor did any projects or has strong knowledge in any language . What to do in my 6th sem and after that I will get 3 months summer holidays and then 7th sem . no 8th sem for us . In 7th sem only we will get placed mostly . Please help . Even though I'm from decent college . My cpi is 6.5
Hello, I would advise to pick on programming language and learn it. After that you start solving some leetcode problems
Hi brother you speaked very well on this topic and i subscibed your channel . can you give me some advice on my current situation. I have almost 2years gap now. and i have only done 1 internship in front end development , i had some medical condition thats why i left the internship. Now what i am doing is i am doing leetcode and i have become better in leetcode ( i am using javascript) but i have not been doing anything in front end for past 5 months i will say since i left the internship. what should i do . the leetcode solving is not that easy i solved 30 easy questions of array and now in string. *I dont know how to procceed and apply for jobs i am very confused* hope you all the best in youtube journey
Hello sir. You can start doing a project but you can also set some number of leetcode problem that you will have to solve everyday. You can solve 2 to 3 LeetCode problems everyday, so you can have sometime to do your project and improve your frontend skills. I hope this is helped. And thank you so so much for subscribing, I really appreciate it sir.
I am doing spring boot projects as you said , but I was not able to solve a problem by own and able to solve it after watching a video even i crossed the arrays concepts in DSA ,??❤
Almost everyone is like that brother. Just keep pushing. Sometimes try playing some cognitive game, and when you go to leetcode, start solving the easy questions first. I hope this helped.
Which one should I do? Him: Both 😂
Yes sir
For some reason i like solving leetcode and learning how computer memory works Than doing a fucking job where they expect you to create gmail in a month, working 12 hours a day 6 days a week for 250usd a month
As you wish my friend
Then what about my 500 day steak within a year 😂😂😂
Thar's nice
🤣
2:00 cameo - faf
Both
Yes sir
Yes
Hey buddy , can you make a video about how to use AI to be better programmer
Absolutely, I will make it sir
This is exactly what i was wondering these days! I'll work on my JavaScript project more first and then start to combine leetcode soon. I've subscribed your channel too!
Thank you sir
I am doing project because it will slow path but in our country thier is to many dsa enginer
Nice, keep it up my man
Nice
Thank you, Mr.Lion, for making this video. I'm new to the CS major, and I'm wondering, since now we have a lot of AI stuff that can make beautiful websites in just a few minutes, do you think it's still worth learning basic HTML, CSS and Javascript?
Hello sir. Yes it is still worth learning HTML ,CSS and JS but you must also know Know to use AI. for more clarification please watch this video: th-cam.com/video/X5pVG7QM9hY/w-d-xo.html
Hi Mr. Lion i am a viewer from india in my last sem of computer science degree and i am interested in doing ios development but it wont help in my placements and i have zero knowledge about dsa what should i do rn because i cannot do ios developmet in swift and at the same time dsa in c++ . please help me
Hello sir. Hope you're doing well. If you thinks by learning DSA you can get placed at your college, learn dsa first and after you secure the job, you can then get some time to learn swift. But would suggest you to learn Flutter or React Native because with them you can make both IOS and Android App. I hope that helped.
@@thecodinglion thanks sir would you tell me if doing dsa in swift is helpful or not and can i learn dsa after learnign ios dev
You can learn dsa anytime you want. Just have the mindset
DSA does not depend on the language you are using. It is just problem solving. If you feel like you can use Swift for your DSA Journey, then you can absolutely do it. There is no problem with that. Hope this helped.
Thank you Mr. Lion for clarifying my doubts. You earned my sub
Thank you so much sir. I appreciate
Well did chat gpt 4_0 learn to open a youtube channel?
Thank you so much. it's " Well done"
nice try diddy
thank you
And also you will spend most of the time researching and talking than coding
Absolutely, positively
"Ai will replace us" and "CS students can't get jobs" is a conspiracy to lower the competition in the field. Nice try, chud...
AI cannot replace you but someone who uses it will. So you can just use it to speedup your development
@@thecodinglion Yeah, but will he be able to leetcode medium?
@@Varelinski NO he can't
this is a comical take... "your frontend career is safe because it's so complex and ever growing, but the backend work? That's easy, they're gone! But not you because FE is so complex!!" lol okay... There's a reason the market always valued the BE over FE engineers btw...
Thanks For the comment but I think frontend is as important as backend. What programmer should do is to learn how to use AI so they can work rapidly and efficiently. Those who will lose their jobs are those who do not want to use AI. They are going to be replaced by those who use AI. And I believe I was not wrong when I said FE is always changing. 10 Years ago people were not making 3D websites or even animate them. Now the websites are being animated , who knows what they will look like 5 Years from now. I hope This helped. and I am really happy that you pointed that out, because I learned something and I hope that other who will read your comment will learn something too. Thank you so much. Please consider subscribing, it would really help to break the algorithm.

I am not saying it's complex. I was just showing the creativity and evolution
Well explained! However, you could put more text on the screen while speaking. Nice video, even 60 year olds could understand it from this video lol. Liked, saved and subbed.
