Exactly, I tell every new programmer: please do NOT copy from the tutorial !

You mentioned both reading and writing code, there is also another great way to learn which is teaching other people code whether in write-ups, videos, in-person, or whatever.

Other folks have mentioned teaching code as a way to learn it more deeply. I think it is a great idea. It gives you the chance to dive more deeply into how something works. I have been working on doing that myself. That is part of why I write posts here to teach others about my experience with coding. As I go I hope to also have more technical focused articles that teach how to use something.
