I've been "learning to code" for two years and still feel like I know nothing
I've done FreeCodeCamp, watched YouTube tutorials, built a few small projects (a calculator, a to-do app, some basic API stuff). I can read code okay. But when I sit down to build something from scratch without a tutorial holding my hand, my brain just freezes.
I freeze up on basic things like "where do I even start?" and "what folder structure should I use?" and "is this even the right way to do this?"
I know imposter syndrome is real. But at what point does it stop being imposter syndrome and start being "I actually don't know what I'm doing"?
Has anyone else felt totally stuck at this stage? How did you push past the tutorial hell and actually start building things on your own? I feel like I'm going nowhere.
