So true. Ive even seen tutorials these days that ask you to pause and think about/try the problem first. Another suggestion Ive seen is to not follow the tutorial 1-to-1 and produce a solution with your own spin on it. For example, instead of building just a TODO list app, making it a shopping list app with extra features. Anyway that can get you thinking about the code in a active rather than a passive way will work wonders in the long term!

Totally agree with you on this! I definitely see major value in taking tutorials that cover tech your wholey unfamiliar with as long as you make sure to make it your own along the way.
