My First Coding Failure

Admin·Jun 15, 2026

When I was 16, I tried to build a website for the first time. I spent three weeks copying code from tutorials without understanding what any of it did. When it came time to fix a simple bug, I was completely lost. I almost gave up. But then I decided to start over — this time reading the docs and truly understanding each line. It took longer, but the second version actually worked. The lesson: shortcuts in learning are a trap. Real understanding beats speed every time.
