Great insight born from personal experience is invaluable! I believe, rushing will not solve anything in studying. Although it can really help us get out of a problem, it is never part of learning. But sometimes we do have to choose, what things really need to be learned and what not. Depending on the conditions and goals, we may not need to learn some things. Even if we think it's useless at this point, don't forget the keyword. Because we really can't really know what's important and what's not until we get the problem.

One has told me that make as many failures and mistakes as we can while learning. Thus, we'll have a lot of experience and insight. Make those mistakes so that we will run out of ideas to apply them in the world of work. One has told me that a good teacher will make a student fall into failure and then help him figure out for himself how to crawl to the top. Thus, what matters is our process of finding a solution, not the solution itself.

In the end, learning is all about curiosity, patience, never being shy about stepping forward and never feeling great. Learning is something that has no end.

Absolutely! The code alongs definitely isolate learners from failure, which is why they are not very good resources for absolute beginners.
