The problem I was trying to solve

I kept running into the same wall while learning to code.

Watch tutorial. Understand everything. Close laptop.

Open blank screen. Freeze completely.

This is Tutorial Hell.

I realized it wasn't a knowledge problem. I had the

information. What I didn't have was the ability to

think through problems independently.

And here's what made it worse: every AI tool I used

made the problem deeper. ChatGPT gives you the answer

in 3 seconds. Copilot finishes your code before you

think. The faster I got answers, the less I practiced

reasoning.

Every time I googled the answer instead of figuring

it out myself, my brain learned to give up a little

faster.

Why AI tools make it worse

The current generation of AI learning tools optimizes

for speed.

You ask. It answers. You copy. You understand nothing.

The next problem — you're stuck again.

This is not a criticism of these tools. Speed is

genuinely useful.…
