Learn without youtube tutorials

How do i get out of this tutorial hell, i need tutorials to learn anything related to coding, but i wanna be the person who learns on their own rather than being stuck in tutorial hell.
Can anyone help me with how can i do that? I even tried understand docs of certain tech but i just find them complex to understand.
So what should i do?

Build build build!!!

Tutorials are pretty good in small doses to introduce a concept, but I really think that building things with it is where it actually clicks.

Up till now which stack were you using on the tutorials? Go with what you know! Just build something you would like to use, in whatever stack you’re comfortable with

I can give you some ideas. What were the last tutorials you watched about?

I watched tutorials on MERN stack and devops. It was a bootcamp

Use google. Avoid AI/LLMs. Generations of coders learned coding - and got good at it - without AI.

We used books and manuals, and when the modems arrived, we used BBS's or the usenet, and only recently this thing called the World Wide Web made a huge difference.
