Copying so many peoples code and not understanding what I built....or how to use it. Then having to scrap it and start from scratch.

On the bright side I have learned alot about what not to do when starting to code haha

I remember doing this really early on, too. One thing I remember having trouble with when I was brand new was returning values from functions. Scoping rules and the fact that you could only return a single object seemed unintuitive and overly restrictive. Not sure when it finally clicked, but now I have new and exciting things to be confused about haha
