Coding is tough, especially at the beginning. But the key is perseverance. Constantly in coding, and tech in general, you’ll run into problems. The key to getting good is solving the problem yourself. Don’t ask for help. Google away. Read away. Learn non-stop. Just don’t ever ask for help. You might want to explain the problem to a stuffed animal to get your thoughts straight, but don’t explain it to a person that can solve it for you.

Every problem you encounter but don’t solve for yourself is an opportunity to learn and get better that you were too lazy to take advantage of.
