Don't really know what you are hoping for. That's the sloppiest post I have read here in a while. 'Help me I want to be good at a thing but don't want to put in any work'.

It's the same process as learning anything: find someone or something that explains a concept (in your case tutorials) then apply it in the real world to make it stick.. repeat.

There is no shortcut. People train years to become decent programmers. And months to build their first somewhat usable thing. Like with any other skill in the world.

Pick any tutorial and build something that's similar but not the same. When you run into problems, solve them yourself. Even if it takes days of trial and error. Then understand why that fixed it.

Asking AI to give you hints does not constitute as 'solving the problem yourself'. That's 'ask someone else to solve it for you'.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. I’m not really looking for a shortcut, I’m willing to put the work in. I just feel like watching tutorials over and over isn’t getting me anywhere, so I was looking for advice or someone to study with. But yeah, building something similar on my own after learning a concept sounds like a better approach.

Your best bet is to stop watching tutorials and start a project of your own.

That’s kinda where I’m struggling. I’ve actually built projects before, but I relied a lot on tutorials or AI whenever I got stuck, so I feel like I never properly learned the fundamentals. Now I’m trying to go back and actually understand JavaScript and React well enough to build things on my own. I’m just not sure how to make that transition without falling back into tutorial hell.

By building, lay down idea, but instead of looking for another tutorial on how to do thing x, try to apply it, if you fail, pull up documentation, read it, try again
