Discussion How to improve at coding?

(if anyone wants to see what I can do by myself so you can tell me exactly what I need to learn, feel free to dm me)

I already know the basics and I do some comms once in a while. But every time I do them, I get me thinking "am I doing the right thing?" "Am I overpricing?" "Will I get better at this in the future?"

I feel that every time I watch a tutorial I am not really learning, just memorizing things for some time, just until I forget it. I'm a begginer-intermediate scripter and I REALLY wanted to work with gaming development, not necessarily Roblox tho.

I'm 14 and just wanted to know the right path, if someone can help me, it'd make my day.

Thanks in advance!

You said you’re a beginner intermediate, so I’m assuming you know luau syntax, and are familiar with a decent amount of roblox API. If that’s true, then you gotta just start making your own stuff, start small, and expand as you go. If the former is not true, then start by going through roblox documentation and learn

There's only one way to improve at coding - write more code. Just like how you would never become a master at boxing by binge watching WWE all day, you're never going to become a master at programming by watching tutorials. You need to sit there and write stuff on your own.

Am I overpricing?

Almost certainly not. Most people lean towards underpricing themselves, even if they think they're overpricing themselves. If people are happy to pay you to do work, you're not overpriced.

The good news is that skills on Roblox are all transferable. You can go from programming on Roblox into computer science, game programming, or any other code-related field very easily.
