how I would learn web development again for free
I built some web dev projects in college and graduated with no internships. I decided to learn web dev from the foundations using the Odin project's foundations course. After I completed it, I was able to build a portfolio of projects by following youtube tutorials.
This is the path I would take to learn web dev again if I had to start from zero.

    There are many self taught programmers here in yt, some may be immensely gifted and others are average. I wonder why many of them put their stuff on youtube and promoting themselves with the same concept of content. Does that mean after getting to learn all the fundamentals of coding and getting an experience will lead me to creating another clichè youtube content??? I know job market must’ve been tough but misleading your audiences to at least believe that coding is possible while not talking about job (w/c is the primary reason why they chose to learn coding). Coding is popular since it can bring everyone an immense capability to earn more. Which is why people are finding ways on yt Code = earning more. And not, coding = youtube content.

      tbh, creating youtube videos is very time-consuming. most software engineers don't do it because it's not worth doing a second job. a lot of the times, I wonder if it's worth continuing. a lot of them create the same kind of content because that's what gets views... the same goes for finance youtubers, self improvement, etc when I chose to start creating youtube videos, I chose to make videos that I want to make that can also help people that were in a similar situation I was in. at the end of the day, everyone has different motives. it's not as black and white as it may seem

    At he begining of my coding journey I got scared off of tutorials because everyone said I'd enter "tutorial hell" The reality of the situation is that it's very difficult to grasp coding patterns without seeing them implemented first. Yes, you can get stuck in a situation where all you do is mindlessly rewrite tutorials, but if you use them + chat GPT intelligently and actually try to understand every single line of code as well as recognize patterns it's the quickest way to learn.

    Also, dont be scared to start with tutorials that showcase core features of languages or frameworks. I know there are some psychos that tell you the best way to learn is to start building a project, but this to me, is akin to telling someone that the best way to learn to swim by diving into the ocean...its just not going to work and you will be overwhelmed and end up drowning. So take your time, start with the fundamentals, watch and read, take notes, try to implement small things for repetition purposes, rinse and repeat until you are comfortable enough to build a small toy project to test your skill. Once you feel more comfortable, move onto learning a particular tech stack and repeat the above steps again. Eventually you will get so comfortable that building larger projects beyond small toy ones are not as daunting as it seems.

It's about solving problems and communicating with others to align on issues. As you gain experience, you'll realize that writing code becomes the easy part of the job

    Mine wasn't with coding, but with Blender and 3D animation. Here is what I did to fix it. I stopped watching tutorials to create projects, but started creating projects to watch tutorials. Let me explain further. Instead of going on google and searching for how to make this? Or video for beginners or even what to learn first, I would sit down, and imagine I knew what to do already, and would start from there. So imagine, I want to create a beach with a house that explodes. First, I would go watch a tutorial on making sand. I would follow along, but it's nothing too serious. They weren't hard steps, and the video wouldn't be too long. A short tutorial that is about 2 minutes. Then from there, I'd learn how to model something, and from there I would know how to add texture from the sand tutorial and so forth. I don't know if coding works like this, but this is how I started learning Blender. After spending about 2 years of wasting time, this was the way that worked for me
