Ever stared at hundreds of lines of your own code, wondering how it became such an unmanageable mess? Iโve been thereโand itโs a rite of passage for many beginner programmers. From writing code without a plan to endlessly chasing the 'perfect' solution, Iโve made my share of rookie mistakes. But the good news? Each misstep taught me something invaluable.

Jumping straight into coding without thinking through requirements. Like, I once started building a to-do list app without sketching out the features. By the time I added due dates, priorities, and categories, the codebase was spaghetti.

Skipping docs and relying on Stack Overflow for quick fixes. Documentation isn't just dry textโitโs your secret weapon for understanding the bigger picture of tools and libraries.

Trying to build the perfect app with the โcoolestโ tools. I once used a complex state management library for a project that couldโve been handled with simple React hooks. It was like using a tank to crack a walnut.

Use tools like ESLint and Prettier to maintain code quality. Collaborate with others (or even your future self) by writing clear comments. The universal nature of making mistakes as a beginner. Emphasize that growth comes from learning and reflecting on them.

Include rhetorical questions to engage readers, e.g., โSound familiar?โ Think of a flowchart as a visual map for your app logic.
