The neighbor who told me to stop overcomplicating my first website

Back when I was learning HTML in 2019 my neighbor Dave kept saying just use a simple template don't try to build everything from scratch. I ignored him for like 8 months and ended up with a mess of broken links and mismatched divs. Finally caved and used a starter template from a free site and my whole portfolio came together in maybe 2 hours. Has anyone else had that moment where you realize the simple route actually teaches you more than the struggle route?

Templates teach you what good structure looks like, then you learn from there.
