I remember many years ago when I got stuck in that black hole that is tutorial hell. I would follow some tutorials and read some code but then I could not figure out any practical examples that I could do outside of tutorials.

What helped me was finding lots of real world use cases for all of the code that I was learning. Like using arrays and objects to create lists of items on a page in an e-commerce store. And getting data back from API's and learning how to traverse them to build apps.

Sounds straightforward now but when you are a self-taught developer who has no idea what is the correct way for doing things it becomes a challenge.
