BIGGEST Learning MISTAKES That Hold Beginner Programmers Back
If you’re getting annoyed at the slow rate of your progress with learning to code, then even just making one of the mistakes I am about to talk about in this video could be massively slowing down how fast you learn and obliterating your progress of actually becoming good at programing.
And how do I know that? Well because I made EVERY SINGLE one of them, and when I stopped doing them, things changed…a lot.
I will warn you, some of these will not be easy to hit - learning to code is not easy - this is a difficult, and abstract skill that takes a lot of effort to master.
but they are the things I just wish someone had shaken me and screamed in my face “TUOMAS, STOP DOING THESE THINGS” so I might have actually paid attention.
So in this video, I am going to be hopping in a time machine to take you back to these mistakes...

Quick Summary :
Mistakes when learning to code :
1 - Learn by heart (learn programming is more about understand core principles common to many programming languages)
2 - Learn everything at once (focus on what you need for your project / or future work and stick to it instead of looking for the "new shinny famous language")
3 - Expect to learn code by doing something else than writing lines of code …
4 - Watching without applying (better to learn by building stuff and applying theory/ new knowledge to your project)
I agree with everything on this list.
Is it do course in free code camp good? What to do after finish all that course?
@@amiruliqhwan5916Of course. I think you'll learn a lot there (I guess there are teachers there, so they'll solve your doubts). After that you can still learning or if you have more formation or knowledge you can apply for a job
Why do people chase popular or new things? Of course, I can't say anything if the new one is good, but why would he run even though he knows it's bad? What's the point?
hahaha, I’m a slow learner. i didn’t waste 65 hours I wasted whole 3 months learning, understanding, and memorizing those lines of code
Literally the hole summer for a Java course
A year and half and can’t do DOM :v
Don't call learning wasting time...
Your memorizing code? 😂
Guyzzzz i was just messing around, please keep it light hearted I was just joking
👉👈
I'm sure there's some flaws to my approach but what got me going to school for web development was the projects that I wanted to be able to build. Throughout school, following all of the online classes, instead of recoding the apps that the instructor was making I was coding parts of the apps I wanted to build as they went over the different concepts. This led to the course taking more time and me having to do a lot of independent research just to complete the project but I think that's where the learning really happens.
exactly, this is exactly the best approach - apply as you go
I've been following you for some months and i can see a big progress in your video editing and i congratulate you for focusing more on content creation!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks, appreciated!!
Finally, someone says this. I wish I had known this sooner. I am beating myself up over not remembering every little thing.
The first one was a slap in the face. Especially because I used to tell my history and math teachers I can look everything up in this class when I need it in life 😂
Thanks bro, I've been struggling with cs50 trying to remember everything and given up, your first tip really help me regain my focus and motivation.
Chatgpt is the best teacher for beginners, really! Let it explain concepts and ask it for tasks as you learn new stuff. That way you get a good amount of coding in whilst making progress
Your message rings very true to me, and not just regarding programming.
I’ve been interested in computer graphics and ray tracing since the eighties, but haven’t done anything meaningful about it for decades.
So, for the last couple of years I’ve been looking into Blender. And man, have I been watching tutorials. I’ve watched so many tutorials I think I could say that that has become a hobby in itself. And just like you said in the video, you don’t actually learn if you don’t apply your skill in actual projects.
The july 2020 part was very close to home. I was studying like, 8 hours a day and I MEAN IT, really coding and taking notes and shit. Then i got to make a bairesdev test and I absolutely TANKED IT. The despair that came into me was overwhelming but... then it hit me and i think it will happen to the end of my life: you are learning and you will go on learning. If you dont know by now, time will be on your side to get this knowledge. Great video
It’s funny because the reason why I ended up failing my first computer science class was because I knew that I needed to apply what I was learning to actual code of my own, but by doing that, I was taking using up all my time on stuff other than coursework 😂it’s all good though, I’ve come a long way
i learning javascript and python, the video sounds like me the watching 12 hour lessons and never started and try to code💀
thank you for the tips
Well done man, the Finish joke was very fun
🔥
Man this video was done so well, absolutely loved it, this one will definitely hit!
Liked this once midway during the video and tried to like it once again at the end.
Great content and a breath of fresh air for someone like me learning to code but stressing because I don’t remember the order of certain syntax.
Honestly, i have been doing those all things which you mentioned still now ..😂..thanks brother.
haha!
Trust me brother been there, it's very exiting when you're not alone in the field, unless we all realized those mistakes, we wouldn't have gotten where we are today
I had no idea u were finish, your English is really good for a finish person.
As of this moment i am doing MOOC introduction to programming in Helsinki university and it's really good, it gives you challenges when your learning code that help you learn the things that just were taught to you but the best part is that if you are a highschool/collage student and you go to uni and you have passed the course in the MOOC, you can actually get that course as
5 ECTS credit so you don't have to do introduction to programming at your uni.
i met someone from finland and he spoke english perfectly, with a bit of british accent...perfect
I love how honest you are with your audience it seems like you really want to help us
Absolutely point taken big bro
you deserve my subscribe, this editing skills is so awesome!!
jeez, so true, i had a friend who wasn`t puting the work but just watching. when we did the same course i ended up teaching him almost everythink there was because he didn`t know basic instruction or how to apply it
My issue is I get interested in Web development, then cybersecurity, then game dev etc.
I also have very little patience so the fact it takes forever to learn something is infuriating 🥴 but I'm still going and hoping to break into the tech industry by autumn next year
I've been studying python for 1 month and have learnt loads. Already confident enough to make intermediate projects and will keep getting better till I'm skilled enough to find a job
So glad your channel is around. It was when you showed that chatgpt could help you learn programming in depth that convinced me to try again. I hope to be a decent programmer one day, starting with at least 80k or something. The rest of my life is coming now and i’m here to take the reins
whats your progress so far?
How's your journey going on?
Love this video and the course is a banger
Wowo thanks babe
i watch your videos sometimes from the last months ... you given me good advices when i was still learning the basics of programming .. now i work as intern in a company that may give me a job at the end ... your content is great and thank you
ps: i got the job
Congrats! How’s the job going?
@@laughingbird its great , i moved to the backend now
@@mohamedaminehachemi49 Awesome. I'm just starting out now to learn coding. Never too late
@@mohamedaminehachemi49can you guide me too?
Perfect video! I have successfully learnt some key concepts! Thank you very much!
I have so many ideas in my head but i lack the information and data i need for my project(s). I'm still learning the fundamentals and how different languages work but i'm motivated.
Stop with the excuses and just start
@@InternetMadeCoder You're right! 👍
I was in dire need of this video. Thank you
#1: is already my biggest mistake, I take notes on chapters and re read everything twice a day every day and practice it 🤦♂️
hahaha same bro
@@ajayjadhav9133 I did realize tho it does help tbh, I was learning about files,os, os.path.join etc, and when it came to making a project it did help tremendously because I knew how to use it, so it’s actually not bad
@@pharaoh9483 bro just focus on thing.. And do it multiple times with your own ideas
@@ajayjadhav9133 agree!
trying to memorise is my biggest mistake fr
05:19 This is exactly what all the people in the world must be aware of!
Brilliant content. Thank you for saving a lot of people a lot of pain and time!
I’m so damn hyped to continue my path in learning these skills but I’m currently at my company’s restroom at 4:48am on a Saturday 45hrs into the work week and still got 8hrs left. My job is in the way of me learning😤
I just needed this video! THANK YOU!
This is so funny and motivation video for all us begginer programmers
This really helped me. Thank you
Insightful and awesome video editing 😁😁
⭐️😁
might need to borrow that time machine...
Me after a few months of learning to code and learning computer science, “It needs an array, and it starts at 0!”
I feel like I’m actually starting to understand then bam! I realize I don’t know much.
I’m learning c and JavaScript. But also feel like I need python..I’ll just stick with c and maybe JavaScript.
Thanks for the advice in the video!
this video might change me in the future thanks man i have been lost for a couple of weeks
i learnt the basics of python with my school and now im trying to build a web scraper bot that can automatically apply discord roles to people based on what games they have completed
Me method to learn has been partly just reading documentation, and putting tutorials on a second monitor, while coding on my main
I needed this. Thank you so much!
I love your videos and I needed to hear this. Thanks for the amazing content you produce
Appreciated!!
Very nice and instructive video 🔥!! keep going Tuomas 💯👏👏
Have learnt HTML and CSS then started learning JAVASCRIPT currently which i am almost giving up but this video has restored my desire.I have always tried to cram alot in JS which seems futile.
I gave this a like bro thanks I cant thank you enough I just started learning how to code. Like really thanks man
You're amazing. This was amazing. Thank you! ❤
Always remember: learn in chunks, practice in chunks, repeat.
Elaborate please 🫂
@@benimchen50It’s from “Learning How To Learn” course :)
You're a legend mate, great video, thanks
I think, to apply the third point, one doesn't have to get any 'important-market surprise-life changer' project. Just do anything that's attractive for you, or even stupid. If you want to learn C++, make an uneven programming language for fun or rebuild a videogame... plants vs zombies 2? Everything is not perfect, but when you've put in practice your new knowledge in something that's better than "nothing", you can start focusing on whats valuable. So make something random but that stills may challenge you.
i didn't do any of the mistakes that you've mentioned when i was starting out!
That metaphor of watching someone else working out makes sense.
Realy needed to eatch this video.... thanks so much
Personal Advice: Don't try to force yourself to make something make sense. Coding is like a language, and it will come naturally to you if you were to just observe, whether that's over and over again, slowly, or in another way through different examples. Don't think why, think how.
Even a simple Todo app to start with, can go a long way. Maybe, write the Todo app in different ways, and/or use different tools you have learnt to write the same todo app, also in different ways. This method might unlock those ideas in u that you can softwaretize.
I understand the concept of data structures but when it comes to implementing stacks queues linked list etc in the text editor my mind goes blank. I guess it's because of lack of practice as mentioned in the video.
This video had me laughing out loud on numerous occasions. Great content
Can u make part 2 of this video and it should add like ice skill (maybe tool maybe value and if we have this value we can use skill)
i am doing exactly what you telling, first i have finished learning the html and css and now i am learning java script, daily 1 one hour to two hours
thanks for giving us you experience that was very helpful
KIng! you are absolutely to the point
Im an Automation and QA engineer and I'm wanting for a while to learn web development, I keep wasting time and taking it way too slow on courses that I should finish in two weeks but it stretches for like a month and jumping from course to course, but then again im in a full time job in a startup so it could be a little challenging after a long day's work, and there is the overwhelming part on what to learn exactly wether to learn python or stick to js , devops and things that wrap the coding and there are many things to learn ,what is your advice to learn (practical learning) while doing a full time job but still gain focus and progress but also having a little balance for health, should one day of the week be a rest day and etc..? Than you
You're automation tester bro?? Can you give me a path to learn automation tester and what is difference between tester and qa engineer?
@@zaybmalik8149 it depends on what background you have, if you are a developer and you want to get into automation development and testing, you need to learn testing fundementals and hoe to automate testing sense you already know how to code, if your completely new and you want to break into the testing and automation world you can start by learning the application lifecycle and dive into testing fundementals and learn manual testing and learn different kinds of tests and how to think like a tester and to think of use cases and scenarios to test the application, and after that you can learn a programming language like Java to get a good grsap of OOP fundementals and then learn an automation framework such as selenium, after you have a good base, you can switch to another programming language and a more modren testing framework, the difference between manual QA and automation is that manual QA manually tests the software without touching code, tests inputs and outputs and focus on edge cases and user experience and find bugs, automation testing is writing code test scripts for the computer to test the software, automation development is developing the logic and code so you can write tests based on that framework, overall automation is part of the testing world because you develop code to test the application and it is a bridge between testing and development and little devops (CI CD) I hope i gave you a high level picture.
I also started as an automation tester and moved to development. I still don’t understand both. All I did was Google. Although I did enjoy selenium as it was interesting how it did all that stuff by itself
@@KaraboK9Ntswanecan you connect with me?
watching tutorials and not doing any coding is like sitting ina class room hearing your teascher go through examples but never doing your homework. do your homework kids.
Thanks a lot for your video is absolutly true ... 😃👍 Cool !!!!
Am about to give up on coding and I found this video thank You brother
I try writing everything down so that whenever I forget I just look it up in my notebook
I usually code while watching the tutorials and make notes here and there, for things I did not completely understand
Thanks, it helps alot.
Hey man, you got me with the first 😂
Hi I am from the Philippines your video helps me a lot since I want to change career. I want to become a software engineer and I will do it
Hello brother thank you for everything you really have an extra content you helped me a lot of course some things I figured out already but I followed you because you have too good content and you really worth you are full of knowledge and information thank you for sharing your knowledge with us here today is already 6 months how I learn programming myself of course I have moments when I get lost but I come back for myself my plan and goal I made a mistake 2 times in I'm learning programming and this is the 3rd time I've come back of course that's the worst feeling when I'm one has to go back to the beginning many times as I said my mistake before this word general programming is not just to learn the technique how to do it and that my opinion is that programming is more somehow and part of the psyche of course people have to be aware that it is difficult and that one has to be persistent to the end in everything here I am already 6 months active every day I made a break 5 or 6 It's only this year, but I don't want to do it myself, but when you have to do something, it's Let's get back to the story people never give up on your goals otherwise I don't know if you have something on the channel about freelancers that would mean a lot to me if you don't have to make that video sorry for too long a message but I had to write this much of course there is more to talk about but there's something I just wanted to say I finished one course and now I'm watching something on TH-cam in general my opinion is that on the Internet we have There is a lot of education for free without people even realizing what they can do with such an arsenal of knowledge. especially in this industry we are talking about it is hard give yourself time I do not say I have to learn a lot more but I think that 6 months of continuous learning I have invested well in myself and if I feel bad that I had to have small breaks but all in all good i'm coming back just push people and you
Internet Made Coder Just Really Never Give Up
Thank you for sharing this information
We can’t memorise all the algorithms we might need. And there’s new ones all the time.
We no worry about coding. We just upgrade our skills everything will come automatically. While learning anything or any new skills, take pen and paper note all points. Because upcoming days it will be very helpful for us. We can't able to remember everything!😇
I stady coding by myself. They gave me excersises and I use chat gpt. But there is a problem. I cant solve any excersise without chat gpt. When chat gpt write a code for particular excersise i ask him explaine the code. Thats all. If chat gpt hadn't work I wouldn't have solve anything. And it seems to me that there is no sense in that way of stadying. There arent any corses. Only excersise. I feel like I Improve my english instead of learning to code 😁
The biggest mistake that people make is that they think ,they need to learn everything👍
5:28 got me lol. You're great men!
Thank you for the tips :) could you pls tell me what template you used for the schedule >.
Do you think is it ok by learning something new in Java for example . To watch and implement some code from TH-cam tutorials . After understanding the concept try do it by yourself with your own example .
Tell me your opinion , I do this every time and i find it really helpful . Any methods you use that helps you the most ?
Absolutely bloody brilliant.
"Watching without applying" is probably something that applies to everything thta you want to learn
Yes
My first programming class and my professor is having us use c++ i have been in her class for five weeks for a 16 week course i have a F IN HER CLASS i want to be an ethical hacker which requires some level of understanding of programming
Bro I stopped coding with my online bootcamp cause I couldn't memorize everything, and as I only have 30min with my mentor so nobody can explain me how to get my work done I have to look on Google or somewhere else. Bro I'm gonna learn I to code myself but AI is helping me with the codes and explanation is that a bad way of learning ??
I just started my coding journey and i'm starting with Scratch and C++ i wrote down goals i wanna achieve for each but while this video helps my only problem is i feel like starting with scratch isn't smart i'm just wondering if i should go to python instead.
I love you! It was a great video!!
Can I use your Time Machine and go back to 2019? 😭😭😭
Well I gotta start building projects 👀
I have a question.... does it mean that if I don't know js ....I should doing projects on js?
Gordon Ramsay is that you?🤨
Bloody ell the youtube algorithm is working hard, im not going through tutorial hell but im taking a bit long to finish the fundamentals, its been 6 months, no projects lol, but I literally know everything including oop and datastructures in python, just don't write any of it cause I'm scared lol, ok, gonna start my projects in 1 week cause i need a job, them im learning sql quick so I can be an sql developer
Just a friendly heads-up, the word "beginners" is misspelled in the title of the video
thanks!! Woops haha
yoo cool laptop skin, where can I buy one?
hahaha I'm glad that even tho i'm a beginner I only seek to learn the 'process' and not tryin to memorize everything. Still, I'm learning at quite the slow pace :(
I just want to learn ethical hacking, what should I learn?
I totally didn't waste 2 years stuck on the basics 😅
bro i love ur hair
I learned the fundamentals of programming and i know how to apply those concepts but the my biggest problem is being lazy to do projects. Always wasting my time without even focusing on my goal. I have some projects in my mind i build an android app. After all that i became lazy and not even learning or creating a new app, anybody have any idea to overcome laziness😢😢 😢😢
..just don’t be lazy then?
Try doing it for 30 minutes a day. But also set a goal. Also outside things in your life you must stay focused and work on those as well. As you get older your brain isn’t as young and you start to become stuck in your ways
