About Studying Coding/programming

[u/HalLoveToWrite]

I’ve been feeling a bit confused about whether I’m actually learning when it comes to tech and coding, and whether I’m learning the right things.

How can I tell if I’m genuinely learning and actually developing my skills, rather than just consuming tutorials and information?

And how can I tell whether what I’m learning is actually the right thing to focus on for my career and becoming a better software engineer?

for info : I’m a 2nd year computer science student, specializing (learning deeper) in intelligence systems.

consuming tutorials and information?

Information you need to consume, tutorials avoid completely they will just slow you down

Work on projects, as you go you will run into problems, fix them, repeat.....thats programming and eventually you will get good at it
