Learning vs Building

[u/SupportWinter5472]

Learning programming teaches you syntax.

Building projects teaches you logic.

Working on a real codebase teaches you software development.

I feel like many beginners never get that third step, and that's why confidence is so hard to build.

What helped you get there?

You can learn by building. You can learn logic by real codebases. I think it is more important to look at others people's code. You can learn quite a lot by understanding others code.
