✅ *Coding Mistakes Beginners Should Avoid* ❌💻

1️⃣ Jumping Between Languages

Stick to one language until you're confident. Switching too early slows progress.

2️⃣ Skipping the Basics

Don't rush into frameworks. Understand variables, loops, and functions first.

3️⃣ Only Watching Tutorials

Watching isn’t building. Code along, break things, and fix errors yourself.

4️⃣ Ignoring Problem Solving

Learn DSA from the start. It builds logic, which is key to real-world coding.

5️⃣ Not Using Git/GitHub

Track your code and build a public portfolio from day one.

6️⃣ Copy-Pasting Code

Type code manually. It builds muscle memory and helps you understand how it works.

7️⃣ Avoiding Projects

Even small projects teach more than theory. Build something after every concept.

8️⃣ Not Asking for Help

Use Stack Overflow, Reddit, or Discord. Community support accelerates learning.

9️⃣ Burning Out

Take breaks. Stay consistent rather than trying to learn everything in a week.
