Hot take: My neighbor's kid made me rethink how I learn new code

He's 14 and told me he just picks a small project, like a simple calculator, and starts googling every single error. He said 'I don't read the whole tutorial first, I just try to build it.' I've been stuck trying to learn Python 'the right way' from a book for months. Anyone else learn better by just jumping into a project?

Wow, that kid just figured out how most of us actually learn to code.

Too bad most coding tutorials try to teach the opposite way.
